Classes

Open Practice

Thursday 7pm-9pm MST
Sunday 7pm- 9pm MST

Rocky Mountain Kendo Club is a non profit organization. This means that all classes are free, and open to anyone aged 10 and older. Donations are appreciated but in no way required. First timers need not have any of their own equipment, as a shinai will be provided for them. Wear athletic clothing.

Class Structure

Practice will usually be broken into three components. First is stretching and practice swings (Suburi) as well as footwork practice. Second will be striking practice in full armor (Bogu). Third is usually full combat practice (Jieiko) and lastly are katana forms (Kata). Rocky Mountain Kendo Club’s focus is on helping its kendoka progress through the ranks, and prepare for gradings and tournaments.
