Cambridge Kendo Club Beginner Intake and Trial - January 2026

The Cambridge Kendo Club is taking new beginners for in September. Kendo is free to try out for anyone in the beginner intake period in September, for all skill levels and anyone over the age of 9. It is a perfect time for you anyone you know to try out a new activity and take part in a martial art that encourages self-improvement, confidence, and discipline with a positive, supportive, and inclusive community.

Those who join during this intake period will have their September fee waived. Each trial practice will be identical so while you can sign up for multiple practices, they will be the same until the trial period is complete and the Beginners' Course begins.

For other questions, please see the FAQ section below. Per date, there will be 18 total slots. Register early to secure your spot!
