No need of experience of martial arts
Young, aged people, and women, even kids may enjoy Iai and Kenjutsu (combat forms)because they don’t need much power and physical strength.
This is probably most different among other sports.
Don’t worry. Most of our members have never had experience of martial arts before.
Our members are office workers, IT specialists, housewives, doctors, designers, retired
people, students, etc.
Only training wear and Katana are needed for training.
In the training you usually wear training clothes and Hakama.But, any wear would be acceptable in the training except official events such as seminars, Taikai, etc.
The official events require specific embroidery on the clothes and Hakama.
You may purchase the training clothes, Hakama, a belt, knee pads etc from anywhere,
e.g. Internet Shops or Budo shops in the streets.
You use Iai Katana which is fake, no blade. You have to buy strong one which is durable for Iai.
But, don’t worry. The teacher in the training place will give you the information.
