Metro Kendo Club

Metro Kendo Club A small, dedicated community formed, bringing together Japanese and Filipino practitioners who shared a passion for the art.

We are Metro Kendo Club, a non-profit martial arts organization based in Metro Manila, Philippines 🇵🇭 Affiliated with the United Kendo Federation of the Philippines Metro Kendo Club (Metroken) traces its origins back to the early 1990s, when Japanese expatriates—including the respected Yamanishi-sensei—brought kendo practice to the Philippines. As the community grew and evolved, key leaders and founding members envisioned a new direction aligned with their goals and ambitions. From this vision, Metro Kendo Club was born, marking a fresh chapter focused on expanding kendo, fostering development, and building an inclusive, passionate club. Today, Metroken has grown to over 100 active members, practicing at both the Gatorade Hoops Center and Treston International College. The club actively participates in local and international events—from examinations and tournaments to club visits—and proudly operates under the United Kendo Federation of the Philippines (UKFP), affiliated with the International Kendo Federation (FIK). Metro Kendo Club remains committed to cultivating kendo in the Philippines, striving to elevate the practice and the community each day.

Stepping onto a new floor always brings fresh energy! 🌸✨

Today’s keiko took us to Pretty Huge BGC, and trading our usual spot for a world-class multi-sports facility definitely raised the intensity.

Huge thank you to the team at Pretty Huge for having us! We’re leaving this session tired, inspired, and ready for the next one! ✨🔥 #

📣 KEIKO CANCELLED: 19 AUGUST 2026 🙇

Please be advised that Kendo practice for today, Wednesday 19 August 2026, is CANCELLED due to the persistent monsoon rains (habagat) enhanced by and poor road safety due to flooding in some areas of Metro Manila.

The safety of our members and their families always comes first. Please stay safe and dry! 🏠🌧️

The only way to get better at Kendo is to practice more! Join our Weekday Classes for experienced Kendoka.

📆 Mondays and Wednesdays, 7:30pm-9:00pm at 4F Dance Studio, Treston International College, BGC.

🙋‍♀️❓Are the weekday classes open to Beginners (without bogu)?
While we don’t discourage beginners from attending our Monday/Wednesday sessions, please keep in mind that the practice is tailored to experienced Kendoka. Without a dedicated sensei for basic training, it may be difficult for less experienced members to get the specific guidance they need in the fast-paced environment of the weekday classes.
