READING Kendo Club is now taking registrations for its beginners course in September.
The club is open to those who are entirely new to kendo, and will introduce attendees to kendo etiquette, basic strikes and footwork, and coordination techniques.
The beginners course is only open to those over 18.
It will run for eight weeks, with classes from 8pm-10pm on Tuesdays and noon-3pm on Saturdays.
Attendees are reminded that Kendo is a close-contact sport which requires physical contact with classmates and the sensei.
Those taking part will need to have had both Covid-19 vaccinations, unless exempt.
The course costs £100, or £70 for students, which will include a shinai, or bamboo sword, and a three-month membership of the British Kendo Association.
The Reading Kendo Club beginner’s course begins on Saturday, September 17, from noon, at Kendrick School, Central Reading.
