Experience Kendo Training with Yoshinkan Club

Want to challenge yourself with a unique martial art? Join the Yoshinkan Kendo Club for their weekly training sessions in Wellington. Kendo, often referred to as "the way of the sword," is a traditional Japanese martial art that focuses on striking an opponent in armour at strategic points of the body. It’s not just about physical strength—it’s a journey to nurture your spirit, soul, and mind, as the name Yoshinkan suggests. Held every Wednesday at 6:30pm for a duration of 120 minutes, these sessions offer a fantastic opportunity to learn discipline, focus, and resilience. The club welcomes new members from age 12 upwards, catering to a wide range of age groups including teens (13-17), young adults (18-29), adults (30-49), and seniors (50-64). Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, this is a welcoming space to grow.

Step into a supportive community where you’ll build connections with like-minded individuals passionate about kendo. The entry fee is not fixed, so be sure to check with the club for the latest pricing details. As a member-only activity, joining the Yoshinkan Kendo Club means becoming part of a tight-knit group dedicated to personal and collective improvement. Beyond the physical benefits, kendo fosters mental sharpness and emotional balance, making it a holistic practice. Imagine the satisfaction of mastering a new skill while forging friendships in a dynamic environment! ⚔️💪

Take the first step towards an enriching experience that combines sport with tradition. No special equipment is required to start—just bring enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. Sessions are intense yet rewarding, ensuring you leave each one feeling accomplished and energised.
