MSU Kendo Club MissionIn Japan, many kenshi (a person who practices kendo) start practicing at age six. In the U.S. this is not the case. Most kenshi in the U.S. start their kendo journey in their college years or even later. The M.S.U. kendo club is in a unique position to introduce a large student community to kendo. We recognize that our function is to: - Introduce newcomers to the art of kendo, and instill in them a love and appreciation of the art of kendo that will stay with them past the end of their college career.
- Provide challenging practices for those who are already experienced kenshi.
- Build an understanding of the true nature and spirit of kendo in all who practice with us.
- Place graduating members with other dojos so that their kendo journey doesn't end with graduation.

The practice focussed on developing proper basics so that each cut you make is an effective one.
