This is basically a really stupid question, but I like to live on hope.
Is it possible for non-participants to practice geiko during the championship with the participants after the competitions are done for the Day?
My better half is a reserve and I will travel with her, but I Wonder if it is any point to bring my bogu as well.
I really, really want to but I don't have high hopes.

For background, I used to do different martial arts before karate and ninjutsu at the same time for few years. We sometimes would do also simple kendo work. When covid happened I dropped martial arts. Two years ago I decided to pick kendo. But within half a year I dropped it.
I came back to kendo this year and I have been experiencing pain in training in my Achilles but I'm fine the next day. I know this common.
But now my shoulders hurt and I got golfers elbows that hurts the most.
I do golf, and my form is actually good and don't get golfers elbows from it.
But with kendo my right elbows re ..read more

Hi everyone,
Does anyone knows if Guangxi University has a Kendo club? Or if there is a private dojo somewhere in the city? If yes, please let me know! Thank you.

In my hunt for a better place for our club to practice, I’ve run into the question “what’s the lowest ceiling height that works for kendo?”
I mean obviously the higher the better, but there’s also the question of availability and being able to practice in a place with good floor and mirrors and such things.
What would be a minimum height? All input is appreciated.

I have a shinai I plan to only use for shiai and grading, with another for regular practice.
Will keeping it in the plastic wrap keep it 'fresh' or should I still regularly apply oil/wax.

Seito-ha, Nanken…Kenshi 24/7 article
Thank you all for your replies in my last post… I’ve been a fan of Kenshi 24/7 since its inception, I always look forward to reading future articles from Mr. McCall.
When I finished reading the article, I’ve never heard of seito-ha or nankin used in any kendo context, I’ve heard many times my sensei tell me;
-No, not that way, this way!
-You’re still doing that, stop doing that!
This is an example of what my sensei would say to me to correct my *bad habits* during keiko. The things I was doing wrong were limiting my progression in kendo, I’m not show ..read more

I'm researching for a story I have in the back burner where one of the characters is supposed to train on small iaido/kendo dojo. However, since the story takes place in a fictional version of a small-ish Brazilian city that, as far as I know, has no IRL iaido dojos, I can't just base it on the history of a local dojo.
So I wanted to know the requirements and/or the general process one needs to go through to open a proper, legit dojo IRL, cuz I really want to avoid accidentally writing a McDojo.
