About the Club

The University of British Columbia's Kendo Club has been active for over twenty-five years and promotes Kendo among students, faculty, and the general public. We are an affilate of the British Columbia Kendo Federation, and maintain an active role in the organization.

We are fortunate to be led by David Harding, with the aid of fellow instructors Masa Kagami and Bob Takagaki. Hiro Okusa, past head instructor and founder, remains active as an advisor to the club.

We average about ten members per practice with alternating instructors, and practice regularly with members from other clubs, and vistors from Japan. Our membership includes people from a wide variety of backgrounds, skill levels, and ages.

Everyone is welcome the join us, and we look forward to seeing you there!
