Boston University Kendo Association

is coming up tomorrow, Wednesday 4/8, and we would love your support!!! This annual fundraiser helps our club fund tournaments, equipment, and so much more! Especially with increased shipment costs this year, your contribution is more valuable than ever.

Any donation starting at $5 would mean so much to our club and help us compete for bonus funding from BU.

As per tradition, we will be doing one haya-suburi for every dollar raised—so your contributions will help us get even fitter (and maybe a little sore...)!

The donation link is in our bio, please check it out!!!

Amazing job to everyone who participated in the 8th Annual Shishihai Intercollegiate Kendo Tournament! A big thank you to our coaches for coming along and supporting the team!

Congratulations to our medalists, Winnie and Sunethra!
🥈Sunethra Shantha-Raman
🥉So Wing Lum

It’s still a ways away but BU giving day will be coming in a blink of an eye!

Giving day is a 24 hour fundraising campaign that allows people to help raise money for various programs, initiatives, and causes at BU.

Donations to our club allow us to not only travel to big tournaments like the one hosted by Columbia University, but host our own BUKA tournament! Moreover, donations to our club let us fix up our equipment, keeping the team refreshed. With more equipment we will be able to take on more members and grow the club, so anything to offset the cost of equipment will do great things for the club. As we are now forty-plus members strong, we thank you warmly for your continued support!!!

Hello BUKA Friends!!!

We are excited to announce new Official BUKA jackets!!! These are the official club team jackets that we will be wearing to all kendo events as apart of our uniforms.

NOTE: We order these in MEN’S SIZES ONLY. DM for any inquiries.

Alumni! The proceeds from this jacket will go towards helping future club members buy their own team jackets at a more affordable price!

The order link will be in our bio!
