Beginners are very welcome at Aberdeen Kendo Club. If you are interested please visit our website for more info (www.aberdeenkendoclub.org.uk) or send us a message and one of our coaches will be happy to answer any questions you have. THISTLE CUP:

Aberdeen Kendo Club is part of a thriving Kendo community in Scotland. Once a year we host the Thistle Cup, a Kendo tournament (Taikai), which gives both beginners and experienced Kendo practitioners the chance to compete against others from the UK and across the world. TRAINING IN JAPAN:

We have hosted multiple training trips (Gasshuku) to Japan to practice Kendo. As any of our members fortunate enough to do this will tell you, doing martial arts in Japan is an experience of a lifetime.

🎊Our biggest beginners course ever🎊

Over 20 people picked up a shinai for the very first time in Aberdeen tonight! 🤩🎉

What a fantastic start to our latest beginners course. It was brilliant to see so many new faces stepping into the dojo for the first time.

Thank you to everyone who joined us we’re looking forward to training with you again next week 🙇

Last night was our final keiko with Kotaro Danno before he heads back to Japan.

Kotaro joined Aberdeen Kendo Club two years ago after travelling to Aberdeen from Japan to study, and in that time he has had a huge impact on the club, helping everyone improve, and making many great friendships along the way.

During his time with us, Kotaro achieved his Yondan (4th Dan) and competed in numerous shiai, including an impressive 2nd place at the recent Shiraoka Cup in Glasgow and 3rd place at the Greyfriars Cup in Edinburgh.

It’s always sad to see members leave the club, but we’re also gaining a new connection in Japan. We’re sure this won’t be the last time we train together!

Thank you for everything, Kotaro. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
