MEMBERSHIP

New members are welcome to join throughout the year. No experience is required to join. If you are a University of Houston affiliate, please consider joining us at Cougar Kendo.
 

If you do not have any experience, we think it is important to first watch a practice. Please contact us in advance to make arrangements.


Before your first practice, all new members are required to:
1) Fill out a membership form and waiver.
2) Pay dues on time. Dues are $60 a month. Discounts are available for children, those who are in school, etc.
3) Register with the All US Kendo Federation.
4) Undergo training on topics such as sexual harassment and assault.


Finally, new members are expected to be active members of Dojo and have an understanding that commitment to multiple practices a week is required to make progress.

Thank you. Message received.

FAQ

Is it better to start with one martial art? Which one should I pick?

The fundamental concepts are the same in Kendo, Iaido, and Jodo. We recommend training in whatever your schedule allows and being open to trying all 3.

​

Do I need to be at a certain level a physical shape start? Am I too old?

No, anyone can start regardless of their fitness level and age. We can also work with you on getting into better shape in general or for specific goals, such as competition.

I have a busy work/personal life schedule, is it possible to join?

Absolutely, this is a problem for everyone. If you want to make progress, you have to make time to practice, and we can work with you to make sure you can train even when you are not at the Dojo.
