Edinburgh Kendo Kids Club
Grading success - May 2010
Kendo is a Japanese martial art that is enjoyed by millions of people of all-ages worldwide. In Japan alone there are something like 5 million children (starting from 6yrs) that participate in kendo practise.
Kendo gives children a good physical workout, gets their mind focused, and teaches discipline. Of-course, its fun too!
