IGA Kendo Club

Hello everyone! Very important announcement regarding practice on Saturday, March 31, 2012.

We will not be practicing in our usual venue, Arena Fitness. They will be closed due to a company outing. Instead, we will be practicing in the PhilSports Complex Basketball Gym, at our usual time of 2-6pm. This is the former ULTRA compound, and is located along Meralco Avenue. This is near the Ortigas Shopping district, near SM MegaMall. Please consult the area map below.
