Kendo is a Japanese martial art, and this free introductory session at Solbakkeskolen in Aalborg is aimed at children and young people. Newcomers train in ordinary sportswear and bare feet, and the club lends out a shinai, a bamboo sword, for the first month.
Once the trial month is over, you join the club and buy your own shinai, gi and hakama. After roughly eight to nine months of training you are ready to buy bogu, the protective armour.
