Beginners' Course April 2006

On the 24th of April our fourth beginners’ course started with 8 participants.

This course has again attracted people from a wide variety of backgrounds, and this course has members who are school pupils, students and working people from many different fields.

We continue to follow a fairly new curriculum for introducing people to kendo, using the bokuto exclusively for the first few weeks of the course to study distance and cutting technique with a more "realistic" sword before moving on to practicing with the shinai.
