Perspective Students

Those who are curious about Jodo are encouraged to visit the Dojo, observe, and ask questions. Please contact us for information on attending practice. 

Although most of our Jodo students are also martial arts practitioners, no previous experience is required. 

Basic instruction begins with learning Reiho (etiquette) and Kihon (basic movements). 

Equipment may be available for new students to use. Beginners are advised to consult with an instructor in person before making any equipment purchases. Please contact us for further details. 

Equipment — Jo (50" or 128cm), Bokken (wood sword) 

Uniform — Kendo Gi and Hakama, Obi

All students are encouraged to maintain membership in good standing with a recognized NCKF Dojo. New students may register after speaking with an instructor.
