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. :)

Oke's House Warming Party!

By Nella

Kendokas invaded Oke's new house on a late Saturday morning of July! :D

After Oke has settled in into his house near school, we decided to have a housewarming party in the weekend. All of us sat around in the living room and dug our fingers into his stash of games. *clicks on console intensely* XD

And there are many more of us at the unseen right corner

Nasution with screen 1!

Behold gaming screen number 2!

A portion of the stash of drinks in the fridge

Zehao vs Jingyang!

Little Big Planet 2

One full of interesting mini games :P

Of course, which gathering would be complete without food. Anthea brought the goodies from her trip to Australia as well. There was really a selection of snacks lying around for the day!

One last slice of pizza!

Assortment of Sticky sweets!

From the bottle of Sweet-As, or so it is called (:

Here is Anthea behind a bag of Ruffles! :D

Towards the night, we had quite a few matches of the card game, Saboteur. For those not in the know, feel free to google it. XD The expansion pack added a new touch to the game when there were more roles for the players!

The dark side of the dwarves

Special thanks to Oke (and his roommates) for opening up his new home for us! We can drop by again any time when you are free. Hahah. XD
