Halifax Shuurenkan Kendo

Look who passed their shinsa Andy passed his Nidan and Victor got Ikkyu!

This weekend we held our now annual Maritime Kendo Seminar. Where we once again hosted Kunhee Shawn Kim Sensei from North York Kendo who was joined by Bill Hyoung Joon Kim Sensei for Renshin Kendo Dojo. We appreciate the time you each took here and the focus and encouragement you gave to everyone jn attendance. Thank you to everyone who participated, we had kendoka from both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in attendance who all finished the weekend with fullness in the hearts and minds! We will continue to grow Kendo stronger in the Maritimes.

Big shout out to Cormac who participated in the Canadian National Junior Kendo Championship today. Not only was this his first Shiai it was the first time anyone from the Maritimes participated in this event! Needless to say we're very proud!

Today was certificate day for Hardison Wang, Zhenyu Zhang, and Tulio Carpenter. Congratulations again on passing your gradings back in November. Keep doing us proud!

Last night we had our last class with Ayaka who's been studying in Canada for the last nine months! Have a safe flight home to Osaka. EVeryone is going to miss you here! It was lovely to see you build friendships and find a home with us 😁 There's always a place for you here.

Our second open house of the year was another big hit. Hopefully we get some new faces around the dojo! Thank you to everyone who came out the last two weekends to give Kendo a try 🙂

Our first intake open house was a success! Lots of curious people getting into the swing of things 😁

Our second free open house for beginners will be next Sunday at 11:30am!

Come try a free Kendo class! January 18th and 25th at 11:30am
