Kia Ora! Greetings! And, welcome to our website! Waikato Kendo Club is the fifth Kendo Club in NZ set up in 1999 as a non-profit organisation with a mission to promote Kendo and Kendo Through Friendship in the great Waikato area. We hope that we can help as many people as possible to enjoy Kendo as much as we do! If Kendo is new to you, we would like to suggest read two articles done by the local newspaper:
Our Beginner
Class is welcome to everyone regardless with
age, gender and fittness levels. We welcome you to pick-up shinai
with us and become a Moden Samurai here. If you are already a Kendo lover, just e-mail us and come to join our training! |
