We welcome anyone, regardless of age or experience, interested in learning kendo in Christchurch.

In 2025, we are working on a 10 week term based structure with training for all members at all levels happening on Monday and Wednesdays from 6pm-8pm at the ex-Marian College (122 Barbadoes Street, Christchurch Central).

Our term fees are $115/term and members who wish to grade or participate in seminars and competitions will need to register with the New Zealand Kendo Federation which has its own affiliation fees.
