The Bogu (kendo armor) class is for those practitioners who have graduated from the Children's/Adult Beginner classes or who have prior kendo experience. Students develop their kendo skills by practicing advanced techniques including preemptive strikes and counter-attacks. They also study kata (choreographed sequences) and shiai (tournament matches).

Frequently Asked Questions
