Auckland Kendo Club

Nestled in the heart of Auckland, the Auckland Kendo Club has been a vibrant and welcoming haven for martial arts enthusiasts since 2013. Our club is more than just a training ground; it's a place where tradition meets innovation, where discipline merges with camaraderie, and where the spirit of Kendo flourishes. Founded with a shared passion for this ancient Japanese martial art, our club has grown to encompass various disciplines such as Iaido, Naginata, and even kickboxing. However, at its core, we remain deeply rooted in the art of Kendo - 'the way of the sword'. Our focus is not merely on mastering techniques but on the personal growth, discipline, and spiritual development that comes with this martial art. Our training sessions are a unique blend of rigorous physical exercise, mental concentration, and strategic thinking. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a curious beginner, our experienced instructors guide you with patience and passion, helping you hone your skills and deepen your understanding of Kendo. Competition is an integral part of our training philosophy. We encourage members to participate in local, national, and even international competitions to test their skills, build character, and foster a spirit of friendly rivalry. Yet, we firmly believe that victory lies not merely in winning but in the journey towards self-improvement. Stepping into our dojo feels like stepping into another world - one filled with the rhythmic clashing of shinai, the soft hiss of breath, and the echoes of encouragement. It's a place where you can push your limits, forge lasting friendships, and find a sense of peace amidst the chaos of daily life. So, whether you seek a challenge, a community, or simply a new way to stay fit, welcome to the Auckland Kendo Club - where we train minds and bodies with the ancient art of Kendo.
