In brief, Kendo, is a form of Japanese fencing. Competition consists of a two point match in which two opposing (students of kendo) may attack six different targets for points. 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. For further information, you may contact Isabella Church Sensei concerning more detailed explanations of kendo. Kendo at Rutgers People: The Rutgers kendo club is instructed by Bella Church-sensei, but the head sensei is Shozo Kato-sensei, the head of the Shidogakuin dojo. The club is also a member of the Greater North Eastern United States Kendo Federation and the All United States Kendo Federation. The number of club officers and their titles may vary year to year, so check the officer’s page for the most recent list. Expenses: Club dues are $45 per semester. Shinai cost $31 and bokken range from $15 to $35. Uniforms are usually not recommended until after a year of practice as they usually cost over $100. Bogu usually costs several hundred dollars and is not recommended until after at least a year of practice. Activities: The Rutgers kendo club practices twice a week at times and locations which vary from semester to semester. Please see the practice page for the current practice times and locations. In addition to regular weekly practices, the Rutgers kendo club also participates in various kendo tournaments. In addition to hosting its own tournament at Rutgers, the club has participated in tournaments at George Washington University, Cornell University, and the United States Military Academy. 70 LIPMAN DRIVE New Brunswick, NJ, 08901-8525.
