We are a friendly and inclusive kendo club.
We welcome students and non-students alike.
The club was originally founded in 1989. Today, we are one of the larger kendo clubs in Victoria, Australia. The majority of the members are university students, but the club welcomes all who are interested in practicing and learning the art of kendo.
