Curious about Japanese martial arts? Dive into the world of kendo, known as "The Way of the Sword," with the Rembuden Kendo Club at Victoria University. Our weekly training sessions offer a unique chance to spar using bamboo swords while wearing protective body and head armour. This dynamic sport welcomes both males and females, students and non-students alike, catering to a wide age range from 18 to 64. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, our sessions are designed to build skills, fitness, and camaraderie. Each session runs for 120 minutes, providing ample time to learn techniques and engage in practice bouts. The annual fee is $250 for students and $300 for non-students, making it an accessible way to explore a traditional martial art. Interested? You can observe a session or try a few before deciding to join, ensuring kendo is the right fit for you.

Training with us isn’t just about physical exercise; it’s about building confidence, discipline, and lasting friendships. Imagine stepping into a space where every swing of the sword teaches you focus and respect. Beyond the dojo, you’ll find a network of people passionate about personal growth and cultural appreciation.
