GB Kendo Squad

“the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”

GB Kendo team supported at the 14th WKC by:

This squad was formed to develop kendoka in preparation for international competitions, both physically and mentally.  Our goal is to prepare a pool of talent from which the Great British Kendo Team will eventually be selected.  In order to become a Great British Kendo Team member, you must be committed and demonstrate that you will make a consistent contribution to  the Great British Kendo Squad.

The squad meets regularly on a monthly basis, generally, based in the West midlands and also regularly trains at other UK locations.  The intensive training sessions are intended for all potential kendoka as a lead up to team selection. Members of the squad who are residing in the United Kingdom will be expected to show a high level of attendance to these monthly training weekends.  Those members of the squad who are not residing in United Kingdom will also be expected to be contributing members of the squad, striving toward the group’s aims.
