About
Go-Ken

Go-Ken ( 剛剣 = strong sword ) is a Kendo seminar series far from the usual. With a broad mix of professional and semi-professional Kendō players and instructors, we want to provide an experience outside of basic focused seminars.

Preperation for Shinsa & Shiai alike

Experience a broader variety of Kendo styles

Draw inspiration from uncommon teacher types
