Uniform Seminar (10-11 am) How to properly wear, fold and care for your keikogi (Kendo jacket) and hakama (Kendo pants). Also, the reigi (manners) associated with wearing your uniform. Food Seminar (11-12 pm) In this part of the seminar we EAT and watch Kendo videos. 
Armor Seminar (12-2 pm)Those who are ready to start wearing Kendo armor receive it in a special ceremony and learn how to assemble, wear, put away and care for their armor. They also begin learning the reigi (manners) associated with wearing armor. During the Armor Seminars, those who are not yet ready for Kendo armor have a chance to put on armor and see what it's like! Scorekeeping SeminarsEvery October, we offer a seminar to teach our members how to assist at tournament scorekeeping tables. The skills of timekeeping, scorekeeping, announcing matches, etc., are emphasized. If you miss the seminar, it will be available here as a video file.Contact Us: Russ or Wendy Sinclair 509-465-5207 Email: Russ or Wendy Sinclair |
