Kendo developed from the many schools of swordsmanship that have existed in Japan during the last several hundred years. Modern Kendo is a traditional martial art, a way of personal development and discipline, and a very exciting sport. 
Spokane Kendo Club is an official branch school of the Pacific
Northwest Kendo Federation and the All United States Kendo
Federation, which are affiliated with the All Japan Kendo
Federation and International Kendo Federation. Close
affiliation with these governing bodies insures the best quality
instruction for the members of our club and allows them to attend all Kendo events: 
Our Pacific Northwest Kendo Federation advisor is Curtis Marsten Sensei
(Renshi, 6th Dan). We are grateful for his dedicated guidance.
We also take instruction from Jeffrey Marsten Sensei (Kyoshi, 7th Dan)
and the senior members of the Bellevue Kendo Club.
