In this workshop, participants will gain a first insight into the Japanese martial art of Kendo, the “way of the sword.” Kendo combines physical movement, concentration, discipline, and respect, and is practiced today with bamboo swords known as shinai.

Participants will learn basic postures, simple movement sequences, and first striking techniques. The focus is not only on strength, but above all on attention, body control, timing, and the right inner attitude.

This workshop is aimed at anyone who would like to try Kendo and learn more about this traditional Japanese martial art. No previous experience is required.
