Sei Tou Ken Yu Kai

The name of the club "Sei Tou Ken Yu Kai" comes from the Kanji characters that made up the name of Alex Bennett's high school. Roughly interpreted, the characters in the club's name refer to rice plants; when a rice plant is young it shoots up from the ground full of life, but as it gets older, it appears to bow down and becomes humble.

Club Atmosphere

The Canterbury Kendo Club have trainings that cater for all levels and abilities. Trainings vary from philosophical kata sessions through to fast paced shiai (competition) practice. Outside of trainings we organise social activities like dinners and barbeques as well.
