Purpose: We are heading for the spread of Covid19 to converge, and Kendo tournaments and Kyu and Dan examinations will be resumed in the future.
・Referee skills:
Improving each Kenshi’s kendo technique by learning appropriate refereeing methods
・Basic technique training method with a Bokuto:
From February 2023, it will be subject to examination for 2-5 Kyu kendo examinations.
In addition, instructors of 3 Dan and above are required to learn how to practice Basic Technique Training with a Bokuto.
As an instructor, this is to ensure that the examinee learns the correct Basic Technique Training with a Bokuto.
・Joint practice :
You can practice with instructors and swordsmen from other dojos that you cannot usually practice with.
This is a chance to demonstrate what you usually learn at the dojo and learn a lot of new things.
