Monday, 16th August
1830hrs @ MPSH 6
Hello all!
Prepare yourself! The NUS Kendo Club is having our Welcome Tea 2010 on 16 August, 1830hrs at MPSH6. This is held every year for prospective members like you to find out more about Kendo.
Kendo demonstrations such as basic kihon cuts and sets of training exercises would be showcased! There will also be time allocated for some hands-on experience of what Kendo is all about.
Nearing the end of our Welcome Tea, there will be a FAQ + Drinks session, during which you can ask the seniors present any questions that you might have! If you have any doubts, this will be a good time to clarify all your queries with us :)
Do bring your friends and come on down to MPSH6 to join us for a wonderful evening in exploring what Kendo is all about.
We recommend everyone who is interested to come down for the Welcome Tea because it will give you the best picture about how the club trains, what our trainings involve, and what is expected of us as members of the club. It will definitely help you make a good, informed decision about whether or not to join the club following that. :)
Our Beginners' Course will start on the Friday 20 Aug, at 1830hrs promptly at MPSH6.
We will be conducting lessons on kendo basics, such as footwork. All that you need to do is to turn up in comfortable sports attire! We will be providing the required club logistics for your use.
Sign up for the Beginner's Course will be conducted during the welcome tea.
For those who are unable to make it for the Welcome Tea, kindly inform us by emailing us your name and contact details before coming down, and do not be late!
If you have any burning questions to ask about Kendo before the Welcome Tea, just email us or contact us on our tagboard.
Looking forward to seeing your happy faces on 16 Aug 2010! c:
