You can share the suite with 1-2 other persons. The dorm facilities means you'll share with 5-11 other people. If you choose to opt for the suite, your contribution will be from P3,000 to P3,500.

Hi guys I got this from the various pdf files that I downloaded from the internet for my research about Kendo. I hope this will help you especially those who are new in this budo.

2. Do not enter the dojo untidily dressed, if dressed in Japanese style a hakama should be worn

3. Maintain a respectful attitude and the most correct posture

4. Be quiet and conscientious, do not engage in n...

Hi Guys,

In the wind up for the tournament on May 7, I am inviting everyone who is competing to take advantage of the last two Monday practices before that (April 25 and May 2), and of course the last Saturday practice on April 30. Practice on April 25 will be from 7-9pm. Practice time for May 2 still has to be confirmed, but will most likely be from 8-10pm.

Hope to see you guys there.

Cheers!

Hi Guys,

First, practice for April 16 will not be in Arena Fitness, as previously announced, due to the venue not being available on that day. Instead, practice will be held in Dumlao Gym, along Shaw Blvd, in Mandaluyong City, from 5-7pm. See the map below for the location, or click on the link if the map doesn't show up on your browser.

Hi Guys,

It is unfortunate, but due to circumstances beyond our control the April 16 schedule of the 2nd Hera-Ken and IGA-Ken tournament will be postponed to May 7. Please adjust your plans accordingly. Venue is tentatively Arena Fitness. As soon as more details are available, I will post them.

Cheers!

This will be held on April 16, 2011, a Saturday, and the venue will be in Arena Fitness, our regular practice venue. Time will be from 10am to 5pm, though I would encourage participating members to arrive early, say 930am, in order to help with preparations, etc.

I sent an email blast via this site and facebook in order to confirm your participation, but j...

Hi Guys,

This month weekday practices will be on Mondays, 8-10pm. Venue will still be Arena Fitness. Please try to make the most of this schedule as there are only a few more practice sessions left before the shiai on April 16.

In addition, tomorrow's practice (March 7) will be a special one because we have a visiting sensei from Japan who will be joining us. His name is Onami-Sensei and he is a 7th-dan kyoshi. Opportunities like this are rare, so if you can please take the time t...
