# London Kenyukai

London Kenyukai is a kendo dojo offering traditional Japanese martial arts training across multiple London locations. They teach kendo—the art of sword fighting rooted in Japanese and Korean culture—to practitioners of all ages and physical abilities.

The dojo serves a diverse community including school children, juniors, ladies, families and adult practitioners seeking self-discipline and self-defence skills. Their inclusive approach emphasises that kendo is safely accessible regardless of age, gender or physical condition, making it particularly popular with those wanting to develop mental resilience alongside physical confidence.

What distinguishes London Kenyukai is their practical accessibility across London, operating four separate practice sessions weekly: Wednesday evenings in Shadwell, Friday sessions at Canary Wharf, and Sunday classes in Island Gardens with dedicated junior beginner courses. They focus on core values of discipline and mutual respect whilst building emotional and social skills—appealing to families and individuals seeking more than purely technical instruction.

Beyond regular classes, they offer flexibility through private lessons and small group training, plus corporate team activities, demonstrating adaptability to different client needs. Their active social media presence showcasing training events, combined training sessions (godogeiko), and community engagement, reflects a vibrant, progressive dojo culture. The emphasis on foundational technique (剣道は基本) and structured progression from beginners through advanced levels positions them as serious about quality instruction rather than casual recreation.
