    Hi guys,

    I have no experience with it (only know the tiniest bit of kung fu & aikido), but I'd like to know if there are any kendo clubs in Dublin.

    Also, I heard it's quite expensive- is it possible to get a loan of equipment from clubs?

    Cheers for any tips.

    Google!...

    DUBLIN KENDO

    I was at a recent competition of their's, although I've never tried it 'nor had I seen it before.

    And without a doubt it was one of the most spectacular of the Martial Art's I've witnessed.

    There are 2 clubs in dublin, along with the one mairt suggested there is also one in trinity.

    It is expensive if you consider it over a long period of time.

    But its not prohibitavely expensive at the beginning.

    The club can usually loan or rent equipment to you but you need not worry about this untill maybe 3/4 months time.

    Pop by and have a chat to them, and they can advise you better. In fact there is another tournament this weekend in Dublin (the Irish Nationals), maybe pop by Saturday and have a look.

    My name is Robin btw, and I'm Vice president of the Kendo na hEireann.
