Beginners Course

We have two free Kendo intro sessions
Wednesday 3 October 9-10pm and Friday 5 October 5-6pm,
both in the Activity Hall on Level 2 of the Stevie Building

After the trial sessions your best option is to sign up for our 8-week
intro course which runs until Christmas. It is £30 and includes free
practice twice a week plus a shinai (your very own bamboo sword) and 3
months' membership of the British Kendo Association, which is both your
insurance and access to gradings for when that time comes.

Alternatively, practices are £2 each if you want to pay per session.
This is more than other clubs but because Kendo is new to Glasgow Uni
we are not yet affiliated and sponsored by the Sports Association. This
should happen soon, though, so please come along anyway.

You won't need to buy anything for the first while, although it may be
nice to have your own shinai if you plan to stick with Kendo. For the
first months you'll be fine to wear just jogging bottoms and a t-shirt,
or a gi and white belt if you practice other martial arts.
