Step 1: Select Your Class
Please choose the class that matches your age and experience:
Children
- For ages 7-13 years
- New to kendo or have prior experience
- Next student intake: January, 2025
Step 2: Come To A Practice
Please check the calendar to see when the next practice will be held for your class. You are welcome to observe the practice, meet the instructors, and ask any question you may have. If you plan to participate that same day, you will be required to sign a Waiver Form releasing the association from physical injury liabilities as well as providing us permission to take your photographs of your class for promotional purposes.
We have a strict health policy that all members must follow. Please familiarize yourself with these rules at https://edmontonkendo.ca/covid19
Everyone is entitled to a trial of two classes. At the end of the trial, you must register to continue practicing with the club. Registration Forms are available from your instructor at any practice.
Step 3: Submit Your Registration
Complete the Registration Form and hand it in to one of your instructors. You will be given an account on our website where you can access resources and pay club fees. Initially you will be assessed the following:
- One-time $75 registration fee
- Regular class fee prorated for the current month
If you are joining the Children's or Adult Beginner class, it is also expected that new students will purchase a shinai [bamboo sword] in the second month of practice and a uniform in the third month. These are approximately $50 and $120 respectively. Please be aware of these additional expenses.
