    Judging by this link there doesn't seem to be any official Kendo club in Wexford...closest is Cork:

    maybe someone else has a clue??

    Best of luck!

    howya.

    Unfortunately there's no Kendo club in Wexford. You're closest would be Cork as pointed out above.

    Kendo is a good martial art/sport and is lucky to have a well run organisation.

    If there's any other questions drop me a PM.

    I love Kendo.

    Its a pity there's not a club in Wexford for the OP, but if I may make a suggestion... Start one!.

    We'd a white belt in our judo club who had to move to Athlone with work, there was no club in Athlone so he started one.

    At first people, including myself if I'm to be honest, thought he was off the wall mad.. But he's turned it into a very successful club.

    Just something for the OP to consider.

    I've never heard of that one before now.

    Either way Paul, a Judo white belt went and started a club. Of course he wasn't coaching, he recruited the assistance of a black belt down there and as I've said the club has been very successful in competition.

    More information HERE.
    The Executive Committee would like to welcome Athlone Judo Club to the Irish Judo Association.

    Paul Hughes (formerly Daigokan) & Noel Francis (formerly Portmarnock) have started a new club in the area.

    We wish them the very best of luck for the future

    The other lad mentioned, 'Noel Francis was a yellow belt at the time and a great little judoka.

    Getting back on topic.

    I contacted a Kendo club in Dublin re. membership, when I told them I was in the defence forces the chap I was in contact with suggested I start a defence forces Kendo club so I'm guessing it can be done.
