KENDO
We offer two courses, one for youth (7-14 years) and one for 15 years and older. During the course you and other beginners will learn the basic principles of kendo, such as body position, footwork and striking. You will also learn the terminology and etiquette that we use at kendo and Kendo Kai Den Haag. The beginners course lasts 10 weeks and has a final exam.
Kendo is trained barefoot, so you only need sportswear. A shinai (bamboo sword) is included in the price of the course (50 euros).

IAIDO
The iaido beginners course covers various aspects over 11 weeks, such as correct footwork, body position, striking technique and etiquette.
Iaido is practiced barefoot, so sportswear is sufficient. Be sure to take (volleyball) knee pads with you, due to the seated techniques. A strap to hold the sword in place is also desirable. This may be a judo or karate belt (the color does not matter). A bokuto (wooden practice sword) with saya (sheath) is included in the price of the course (50 euros).

JODO
Jodo, the way of the stick, is one of the least known martial arts. But it is also one of the richest when we look at the techniques and tactics in the katas. The beginners course is ideal for getting acquainted with the basic principles of jodo. Various aspects are discussed during 11 weeks, such as correct footwork, body position, hitting technique and etiquette.
You train Jodo barefoot, so you only need sportswear. A jo (stick) is included in the price of the course (50 euros).
