Frequently Asked Questions

Recruitment

How do I join the club?	We conduct only one intake annually, during the month of August, via our Beginners' Course for most members. The Beginners' Course is not to be missed as the fundamentals are extremely crucial to every aspect of the training. For experienced kendokas, please contact us directly via our email or members.
Any prior experience or level of fitness needed?	No. That is what trainings are for. Of course it would be a bonus to have them. ;)
Where can I sign up/join the mailing list?	A link will be provided near the Matriculation Fair period for the online sign-up form. Otherwise, do not hesitate to email us with any of your queries! To join our 2011 intake, please leave your contact details at NUSKK Sign Up Form. The form will close on 22nd August after the commencement of the Beginner Course. Please email us directly after that! (:

Costs and Equipment

What are the costs involved?

Firstly, there are no course fees for kendo. There are club fees at $20 annually to maintain club resources however. For beginners, you are only required to purchase the attire (gi and hakama) and shinai. These will cost around $150 depending on the Japanese exchange rate.

For the bogu (armor), it is only used in Advanced Classes and you will only be asked to purchase it after the Beginner Course. It is estimated to cost about $500.

Where can I purchase my equipment?

For new members, your equipment will be provided by the club early into the Beginner Course. After which you will be able to place your orders via the club forum or through our QM, Shermaine. We will inform you when it is needed.

Training

How long is the Beginners' Course?	It will be held over 3-months from the start of the semester. You are expected to attend most, if not all, the training sessions conducted.
What is the attire for training?	Any comfortable sports attire will suffice at the start of the Beginner Course. After 1 month of training, the gi and hakama will be worn during training. For Advanced Classes, the bogu is required along with the gi and hakama.
What if I am unable to attend the upcoming training?	Do inform us beforehand either via our email or the respective people in-charge.
What if there are timetable clashes with training slots?	Unfortunately, the training timings are fixed and there are no make-up classes involved. Do try to catch up in the subsequent trainings! It has happened to some of our seniors and it is possible to keep up. :)

Annual General Meeting

By Nella

After an eventful year, the members of NUSKK gathered once again for the Annual General Meeting held on 1st April 2011.

To start off, our outgoing President, Chee Fung, shared with us the committee's vision and achievements during their term. As we looked back and appreciate their contributions to the club, we applaud their dedication and efforts they have put in throughout the year. Surely, those events would not have been possible without them!

We then proceeded to elect our new batch of excos. Upon hearing the speeches and the exchange of views with the rest of the club, it is heartening to see that many of us, if not all, do have something in mind with regards to the various club issues. So without further ado, introducing our new executive committee...

With the everlasting spirit of the club, all of us can look forward to yet another promising year ahead! The AGM ended off with none other than a birthday celebration for our March babies!

Delighted smiles from Yanxu, Nasu and Blossom! :)

Look out for more exciting events to come! :D
