International Short-term Training Course It is generally believed that to become a skilled swordsman one needs at least 3 to 4 years of training, which highly focuses on iterated basic moves to develop the correct movement habits. Thus for our foreign friends we now provide a specifically designed short-term beginner course, including basic moves, Kendo theory and some advanced techniques. We hope that through the course one can have a general understanding of Kendo and be ready for the future training abroad.
