Welcome to
Kendo Keikokai
剣道稽古会
Since 2005, we have brought together enthusiastic kendoka of all experience levels to deepen the principles of lifelong kendo (生涯剣道). The focus is on the Kendo Idea (理念, Rinen) – the combination of technique, spirit, character development, and, of course, fun.

About Kendo Keikokai
Shogai - Lifelong Kendo with the Kendo Idea Rinen
At the Christmas seminar in 1991, Kozaki-Sensei presented Ueda-Sensei for the first time. We were so fascinated by his skills, his university-style and alternative teaching style, that we asked Ueda-Sensei to teach us in the coming years. It was not with a light heart that Ueda-Sensei agreed to stay for another four years. This initiative then grew into the "New Year's training" for the South German regional associations, and we have now experienced the 4th Keikokai. It is thanks to Kozaki-Sensei and his excellent contact - in addition to so many things that he has given not only to South German Kendo - that we have been in the unique position for almost 18 years now of being able to continuously explore our practice progress and have a really great teacher.
We are very grateful for this commitment.
The 1st late summer Keikokai took place in Urbach in 2005.
