2022 Beginner Test!

Posted on May 30, 2022 by Media in Club News, Training

Hello everyone,

On Sunday, the 29th of May, 2022, our 2022 semester 1 cohort had their first beginner test!

This was a great chance for them to see how well their Kendo had been progressing since the start of this year, and acted as a stepping stone towards their Kendo journey!

The test involved doing designated suburi sets, followed by various cuts against a fully-armoured senior member, who generously acted as their receivers!

Here are some photos of the event to get a better idea of how it played out!

Look at that focus!

Coordinated Suburi, as a line!

Great swings, everyone!

For many of our beginner members, this was their second time hitting a fully armoured receiver!

Nice kiai!

Great dou cut!

Splendid big men strike!

Congratulations on everyone for completing the test!
