Aug 19 Kendo and Iaido Practice changes


Iaido practice is cancelled for Sunday August 19. Kendo practice is moved for Sunday the 19th only to the Corryville Recreation Center located at 2823 Eden Avenue, Cincinnati 45219. Beginner’s practice (no armor) will be from 12:00 until 1:45pm. Advanced practice willl be from  2:00pm until 3:30pm. The Corryville Rec Center is where we hold our regular Wednesday evening Kendo and Iaido practices. Kendoists from around our region are expected to attend; Louisville, Lexington, Indianapolis, Dayton, Pittsburgh, and Columbus. We will be back at the Step ‘N Out Dance studio on August 26th at our regular times.

For Beginners practice, wear your uniform and bring your shinai (bamboo sword). Be sure that you know the kirigaeshi drill, as well as kote, men, and do strikes with a run-through. It’s an opportunity to get some training in with the highest ranking instructors in our region.

"Bob" the "practice partner" will join us for practice Aug 19


After practice we’ll meet for a get together with everyone for an after practice meal. We’ll meet at 5:00pm at the Buffalo Wild Wings located in the Rookwood Center less than a 10 minute drive from Corryville. The address is 2692 Madison Rd. Cincinnati OH 45208

Awards and certificates will be given out at the after-practice dinner. It’s been a little while since we had our last get-together for awards, and some of the awards are long overdue. Hopefully we can see some of our long lost members who have been missing in action for a while (Shaun, Gerald, Seira, Carmel, Rey, Andrew, Bill, and others (you know who you are!)). 

Bring your friends, introduce them to Kendo! Admission is free.
