Hello Kendo Ontario Community,
We hope you are healthy and safe during these ‘unprecedented times’.
Given the positive turnout for the ‘open’ zoom session held last month, Kendo Ontario is extending an invitation to another ‘Zoom’ practice hosted by the Etobicoke Kendo and Iaido Club on Sun Oct 4. It’s unfortunate that we cannot practice together in the dojo, but we hope these sessions continue to keep the Kendo community connected and further the individual Kendo development of its members. Please see the information below and encourage all members from your club to join us.
