Metro Kendo Club The story of Metro Kendo Club begins long before its official name existed. As the community matured, so did its ambitions.

We are Metro Kendo Club, a non-profit martial arts organization based in Metro Manila, Philippines πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­ Affiliated with the United Kendo Federation of the Philippines In the early 1990s, the seeds of Philippine Kendo were sown by Japanese expatriates seeking to keep the spirit of Budo alive in Manila. Among them was the respected Yamanishi-sensei, whose dedication turned a small group of practitioners into a resilient community. For decades, Japanese and Filipino practitioners crossed swords, building a foundation of discipline, respect, and cross-cultural friendship. In 2014, the club’s leadership envisioned a new chapter. To better serve the growing number of practitioners and to foster a more inclusive, structured environment, Metro Kendo Club was born. It wasn't just a change of name; it was a commitment to elevating Kendo in the Philippines to international standards. Today, Metroken stands as one of the largest and most active clubs in the country, with over 60+ active members practicing at Gatorade Hoops Center and Pretty Huge Gym. As a proud member of the United Kendo Federation of the Philippines (UKFP), affiliated with the International Kendo Federation (FIK), our mission extends beyond personal practice. We proudly represent the Philippines globally through international tournaments, high-level examinations, and seminars.

Stepping onto a new floor always brings fresh energy! 🌸✨

Today’s keiko took us to Pretty Huge BGC, and trading our usual spot for a world-class multi-sports facility definitely raised the intensity.

Huge thank you to the team at Pretty Huge for having us! We’re leaving this session tired, inspired, and ready for the next one! ✨πŸ”₯ #

πŸ“£ KEIKO CANCELLED: 19 AUGUST 2026 πŸ™‡

Please be advised that Kendo practice for today, Wednesday 19 August 2026, is CANCELLED due to the persistent monsoon rains (habagat) enhanced by and poor road safety due to flooding in some areas of Metro Manila.

The safety of our members and their families always comes first. Please stay safe and dry! 🏠🌧️

The only way to get better at Kendo is to practice more! Join our Weekday Classes for experienced Kendoka.

πŸ“† Mondays and Wednesdays, 7:30pm-9:00pm at 4F Dance Studio, Treston International College, BGC.

πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈβ“Are the weekday classes open to Beginners (without bogu)?
While we don’t discourage beginners from attending our Monday/Wednesday sessions, please keep in mind that the practice is tailored to experienced Kendoka. Without a dedicated sensei for basic training, it may be difficult for less experienced members to get the specific guidance they need in the fast-paced environment of the weekday classes.
