Cebu Kendo Club

20/06/2026

We're happy to share some highlights from a few weeks ago, when our members Jay Abordo-san, Fin Villa-Abrille-chan, and Kotaro-san had the chance to train abroad and represent Cebu Kendo Club.

Jay-san joined keiko with the Thai-Japan Kendo Club ชมรมเคนโด ไทย-ญี่ปุ่น and Thailand Kendo Club ชมรมเคนโด้ไทย in Bangkok 🇹🇭, while Fin-chan and Kotaro-san trained at the historic Butokuden in Kyoto under the guidance of Takahashi Sensei. 🇯🇵

To the sensei and members of these dojos, thank you for opening your doors and welcoming our members so warmly. Your generosity, hospitality, and willingness to share your knowledge embody the spirit of kendo and made these experiences truly memorable.

Maraming salamat and arigatou gozaimash*ta. We hope to meet again in keiko someday!
