🎌 What an incredible day at the Geelong Japanese Festival!
We were truly humbled by the response to our Kendo display and demonstration — hearing people say "Finally, there's Kendo in Geelong!" meant the world to us.

None of it would have been possible without our amazing community. A heartfelt thank you to:
🙏 Marc and Seth for their dedication throughout the entire day
🙏 Our wonderful members who came out to show their support
🙏 Geelong Council for making this incredible event happen
🙏 Everyone who stopped by our stand and showed such genuine interest

It's moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. We're so grateful to be part of this fantastic community.

An incredible honour for Geelong Kendo Club!

October 25th - We had the absolute privilege of training with 13 delegates from the Buyokan Dojo, Fukuoka, Japan - including 3 7th Dan Sensei and 5 talented junior members.

Buyokan Dojo is preparing to celebrate their 100th Anniversary in 2031 (founded in 1931) - nearly a century of kendo tradition and excellence! Setting the standard for Geelong Kendo Club. To share our training with such history and experienced Sensei was truly humbling for our beginners.

Thank you to members of Ballarat Kendo Club and Nanseikan Kendo Club for joining the training despite of other commitments you all had on the day.

In July, our dojo welcomed friends from Ballarat Kendo Club AND Nanseikan Kendo Club!

Huge thanks to everyone who trained with us - these are the moments that make our Kendo community strong together.
