Saturday Kata Practice

The grading for 1st Kyu-3Dan is going to be held in mid-June. To prepare, Wakabayashi Sensei is going to teach Kata for a portion of Saturday practices from now on. Everyone who would like to get their first official CKF certification, make sure to come out on Saturdays to prepare for grading! 
 For those who don't know what CKF is, it's the Canadian Kendo Federation. It is the organization that holds the official gradings for Kendo, so if you ever want to get higher up in rank, you have to become a member. To do so, please register at https://www.kendo-canada.com/membership.html and make a profile. There is an annual membership fee of $35. This enables you to participate in tournaments and gradings every year, and covers insurance. If you want to get involved in the Kendo community, this is very important. If you have any questions, please let us know! See you all Saturdays, and try to bring a bokken (if you have) for kata practice!

Beginners' Fun Day! Yay!

Hello Hello! York University Kendo Club invites all Beginners and Senpais to our annual long-standing tradition of the Beginners' Fun Day! It will be held on this coming Saturday October 5th 2013, beginning at 9am with our usual practice! Practice will be more of an unconventional one than usual, with programmes designed specially for everyone to have fun. After practice, we shall be heading towards Lunch with the Senseis, then Bowling at Yonge and Cummer St. Bowlerama and will end, *drumrolls* with drinks at night--York Kendo style! The Club will be covering a part of the expenses, so it would be extremely affordable for all! You can opt out the other events after Lunch, but we STRONGLY encourage you to stay for other events as well. This is the chance for you to meet and bond with your fellow peers, Senpais and other members of the club, so be sure to come!
