We are a member of Triangle Kendo & Iaido and register with the Federation under them.

SPRING 2025 Schedule

Date, Location & Time

Dear all, UNC is on its Winter break and kendo practices likely will resume at teh end of January.

For the first time in the 20+ years we have been a student org we have been unable to get a spot in the room lottery. What this means is that instead of having a standing reservation for practioces for the entire semester, we will have to make week by week reservations. So our schedule may change from week to week although we expect to still have practice time on Sunday in Rams Head. on the basketball courts.

. We welcome all UNC students, faculty, staff as well as community members. There is no fee to begin. Contact our student representative Hrishikesh or our instructor, Mike Watson for more info.
