Kendo

Kendo, the traditional Japanese martial art of swordsmanship, offers students the opportunity to develop not only their physical abilities but also mental discipline, respect, and self-awareness. Through the practice of Kendo, students will engage in structured training sessions, learn key techniques, and participate in mock sparring sessions (keiko). The activity fosters a spirit of resilience, patience, and mindfulness, encouraging students to find balance between physical strength and inner calm. Open to all skill levels, Kendo CCA is a place for students to grow both individually and as part of a close-knit community. :
