Our recruitment is now open for new batch who want to try and join Kendo.
LPU Davao Kendo Club Beginners Batch is open to all students of LPU Davao.

What is Kendo? 🥋

Kendo, or "the way of the sword," is more than just a martial art; it’s a journey that unites physical and mental strength. Practiced with bamboo swords (shinai) and protective armor (bogu), Kendo teaches not only how to wield a sword but also how to strengthen one’s spirit, character, and sense of respect.

At its core, Kendo emphasizes:

Discipline: Training the mind and body through repetition and intense focus.
Respect: For your opponent, instructors, and the practice itself.
Perseverance: Overcoming challenges and learning from each experience.
Tradition: Preserving centuries-old Samurai swordsmanship techniques.
Whether you're looking for a challenging physical workout, a way to sharpen your mental focus, or an opportunity to grow as a person, Kendo offers something for everyone.

Interested in learning more or joining our practice? Contact us for details about our beginner sessions and gear requirements! 🗡️👊

Ready to punch, chop, and kick your way forward? That’s what we like to hear! Here’s the training schedule for the LPUD Martial Arts Club.

Whether you’re a black belt or still figuring out how to tie your gi, these sessions are designed just for YOU. Get ready to sweat, learn, and finally perfect that roundhouse kick you’ve been practicing (without knocking over the lamp this time).

Don’t forget to bring your gear, your determination, and a positive attitude. Got questions? Feel free to message the page.

Let’s make this semester legendary—one kick at a time. See you there!
