Kendo Club
About
Hello everyone!
We are the UB Kendo Club. We participate and practice in the modern Japanese martial art known as Kendo. Originating from the swordsmanship schools of the samurai, Kendo was created as a means to practice and refine sword techniques without causing bodily harm, as well as opening the ability to spar with each other. Kendo is much more than a fencing sport however. Kendo is deeply rooted in Japanese philosophies, and the true purposes of training in Kendo exist beyond the dojo and competitions. Our goal with this club is to provide students with the open opportunity to learn, practice and eventually compete. We participate in tournaments across Western NY and Canada. Anyone can join at any time; no equipment is necessary to begin. Come in to watch or participate, athletic clothing and a water bottle is recommended. If you have any questions about the club, please email the club president or any of our executive members, or shoot us a message in our Discord.
