Shelter in place responsibly
Remote practice, kendo & iaido
With the recent implications of Covid-19 mitigation measures we've had to adapt our training, many of us continue at home, or pursue what other means we have to hone and retain our skills. In response to this the kendo community around the word has began to find ways of pursuing kendo together while observing social distancing.
The Rock Kendo Club during this time will be offering remote keiko via ZOOM.
Class schedules are posted below.
Kendo:
Iaido:
Rules for remote keiko:
1: Please be ready at the start of each session - late participants may not be admitted.
2: Be mindful, we may be shouting so be aware of those you may be disrupting, also refrain from unnecessary noise or chatter, much like the real dojo - a lot of ambient noise can be transmitted over the microphone.
I also recommend before joining each session to complete the following to 'be ready':
1: Taiso - stretching and calisthenics, try to cover head to toe and warm up properly.
2: Mokuso and Bowing in - a moment of meditation with deep breathing to clear the mind, we will start keiko from this point after bowing in (zarei).
