What you can expect from being in Vancouver and kendo with Renbu Dojo.
We value challenges and growth and learning to overcome adversity in life through learning about the beautiful martial art of kendo.
Class begins with souji (cleaning the floor) to prepare our body and mind for learning in a clean environment. The gymnasium (also referred to as the dojo) is our training space and should be treated with respect.
Fundamental training includes: kamae (kendo stance), footwork, how to hold/grip the shinai and basic swings with the shinai.
These basics are vitally important to building a strong foundation of kendo skills. Beginners can expect to stay in this stage for about 2 to 4 months however progress for advancement depends on the individual’s practice time and ability to grasp the fundamentals. Sudents are expected to reflect on each practice on their own and attend classes regularly so the instructors can properly guide them.
