On Sunday 8th June, we held a small progress test for our 2025 Semester 1 beginners cohort! This test was to check how our new beginners have been settling in, and how much they’ve learned over the past 3 months!
Although it was a stressful time being their first formal test, everyone put forward a good effort and pushed through the nerves! This test also marked their progression into wearing their new kendo uniforms, which was exciting to see at the following Tuesday training! Well done to all of our new beginners for training hard towards this milestone, and best of luck until the next move into bogu!
Thank you again to Takayama Sensei, Fujito Sensei, and the instructing team for putting together and facilitating this test for our beginners, and thank you to our volunteer motodachi!
Enjoy some photos from the session!
Keenly watching our demonstrators Keren and Sylvia!
Starting with suburi! (As they say, suburi is the foundation of everything…)
(I wonder what’s running through their heads…!)
Thank you to our volunteer motodachi!
Looking cool!
