Vienna Kendo Club

Deutsche Version

 

The club

In the year 1980 the Club was founded, called Austrian Kendo Association ("AKA"). AKA  soon became a member of the  European  Kendo Federation (EKF) and the  International Kendo Federation (IKF). In 1996 the  Österreichische Kendo Verband - Austrian Kendo Association (AKA) was founded by various Kendo and Iaido clubs. The Club named AKA so far became a founding member of the new Association and was renamed "Vienna Kendo Club", which is the Kendo Club in Austria with the greatest number of members. Many of the members have represented Austria at European and World Kendo Championships and participate continuously in national and international Kendo events.

How to become a member?

Training classes for beginners Anfängerkurse start at the beginnings of march and october for a duration of 5 months. A couple of  lessons for testing are no problem, we will lend you a training weapon (shinai) and advise you later on how and where to buy equipment. It is always possible to watch a training session or to join the session if already experienced in Kendo.
