Kendo Kai Den Haag

Why do we come to the dojo every week, year after year, in good times and bad? Love for budo, habit, duty, fun or self-improvement? That is different for everyone. Whatever your personal goal, you can only work on it in a club where everyone feels and is accepted. We want to be an environment where there is room for everyone and where our members can develop at their own pace. That is why we strive to be the friendliest budo club in the Netherlands.
In a friendly club we can work on our budo and on ourselves. The concept of kendo already states that through kendo we “discipline human character by applying the principles of the katana (sword).” We strive for growth and success as a dojo, as students of the way of the sword, and also as competitors on a national and international level. In addition, we want to train and guide the next generations of the national youth and adult teams.


Kendo Kai Den Haag is an active player in the Netherlands. It is not only one of the largest dojos, but several members also do board work in the national umbrella association, the NKR. We also have a lot of exchanges with other dojos for training and competitions. And are represented at seminars at home and abroad. For example, KKDH teachers taught at national seminars in Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, Switzerland and Portugal in 2022.
The training sessions are, in general, conducted in English due to the diversity of nationalities within our dojo.
