The purpose of kendo was to hone the fighting skills of the samurai class. Modern kendo is a fencing sport, and the aim is to strike the opponent using a bamboo sword called a shinai. Kendo practitioners wear body armour called bogu. We are a small but extremely active club who train 4 times a week. We do regular social events and travel to regional/international competitions frequently.
