Southampton Kendo Club

Southampton Kendo Club provides hard training and a friendly environment to practice Kendo.

Kendo (剣道, "way of the sword") is a modern Japanese martial art originating from the experiences of the samurai who trained to use Japanese swords (nihonto) in combat. Kendo practitioners (kendoka) use bamboo swords (shinai) and armour (bogu) for fencing, and wooden swords (bokuto) for practicing traditional sword forms (kata) in pairs.
