Kendo

Fall 2011

Practices @ Loree Gym

Monday 9-11PM

Saturday 11:30AM-2:30PM


We are looking for helpers for the half marathon on April 20-22.  The Rec. department will pay the club 8$/hr/person so this is a great opportunity to get some fundraising done. During the race, you'll essentially be handing out water to runners going by or helping out at the registration and finish tables, depending on where they put us and. If you're interested in helping out at one of these times, please e-mail Joe Wong back by Monday. 
(You don't need to be an official member of Rutgers Kendo Club to volunteer under us, so if you have any friends who want to tag along, feel free to bring them :) )

Though kendo, in its modern form, is a sport with rules and regulations, the philosophy behind it is similar to that of the martial art of kenjutsu.
