All intensive training sessions are open to all BKA Kendo Bu members.

Intensive training sessions are intended to develop kendoka in preparation for competitions and are designed to develop kendoka both physically and mentally, but without negating the fundamental principles of Kendo. These training sessions will challenge you to perform to the maximum both in terms of technique and stamina, while fine tuning your Kendo skills and learning new skills through focused exercises.
The training sessions take place over one weekend on a monthly basis.
They are generally based in the south east, with occasional trips to other UK locations.

One goal of these sessions is to build a pool of talent from which the Great British Kendo Team will eventually be selected.  GB Kendo National Members of the BKA who would like to be selected to represent Great Britain and the BKA and who are residing in the United Kingdom will be expected to show a high level of attendance to these monthly training weekends.  BKA members who are not residing in United Kingdom, but who still would like to be considered will also be expected to be contributing members of the squad, striving toward the group’s aims.

Are you ready for the challenge?
