and respect, fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment.

aggression but for self-improvement and the betterment of society.

diligent practice and reflection.
• Shin: Sincerity - We approach Kendo with dedication and honesty, committed to personal
growth and the pursuit of excellence. By adhering to these principles, Davao Kenyukai aims to create a positive and enriching Kendo
experience for all its members, while contributing to the growth and development of the Kendo
