What do you need?
Above all, the wish to learn kendo. You train in comfortable sportswear, for example tracksuit bottoms and a T-shirt. You don't need shoes: kendo is practised barefoot. You don't need bogu (protective armour) during the course either.
Want to continue afterwards? Then you will eventually buy a hakama and keikogi. All members are happy to advise you.
During the course you also learn the terminology and etiquette. Get a head start on the terminology and etiquette page.
