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. :)
