As we transition to the Spring 2020 practice schedule, there will be no practice on Wednesday for March break. Regular practices will resume on Sunday at our regular time.
Kendo Ontario – Team Canada Practice 2020
To the Kendo Community,
One of Team Canada’s goals is to give back to the community and share some of the training techniques with members of the general Kendo community.
To support such, Team Canada is hosting special practices every second Friday at the JCCC Kendo Club from 7:30 ~ 9:30 p.m.
These practices are open to all bogu members of the Kendo community.
We especially encourage aspiring junior members to participate so they can begin their competitive training at an early age.
The plan is to have advanced attendees practice with the Team Canada prospects while less experienced or younger members follow the same instruction but practice among themselves in a separate group managed by a Team Canada associate coach.
The format is subject to change based on the quantity and ability of the participants on that particular day.
The first practice starts this Friday, February 14th and continues every second Friday.

Kendo Ontario Shinpan/Referee Seminar
On Saturday February 22, 2020, Kendo Ontario will hold a Shinpan / Referee Seminar led by David Mori Sensei at the University of Toronto – Upper Gym starting at 1:00 p.m. All players 3rd Dan and Up are invited to participate. This seminar is beneficial for all members who compete as well as referee at Kendo tournaments.
We invite all 2 Dan Kendo players to come out and participate as players to improve their own shiai skills. The seminar will be followed by Godo Keiko and is expected to finish before 5:00 p.m.
As there will be several upcoming events that require Shinpan / Referee (University of Toronto Sr. Tournament on Sat., March 14 and JCCC Jr. Tournament on Sun., April 26), we encourage all qualified members to participate.
Cost
A seminar fee of $10 per shinpan participant to support Kendo Ontario is requested. Shiai players (2nd Dan) and members participating in the Godokeiko only do not pay this fee.
Requirements
All participants are reminded to bring their own Shinpan-ki (pair of red and white Shinpan flags) if possible and read and bring a copy of the FIK (International Kendo Federation) booklet – The Regulations of Kendo Shiai and Shinpan.
*** Kendo Ontario will be selling copies of the booklet @ $15. Quantities are limited. Please indicate in the registration form.
Deadline
We ask that a club / dojo representative send the completed registration form (available online here) to [email protected] by Wed., Feb. 12, 2020 (end of day).
