Kendo In Malaysia

I just had to do this. Comments from my kendo camp entry are piling up with enquiries, so being that nice bloke who never answers here's a little faq for some of you 'last samurai' inspired zealots :)

+++ ++ +

Malaysia Kendo Association

Location:

Japan Club of Kuala Lumpur, No 2, Jalan 1/86, Off Jalan Taman Seputeh, 58000, KL.

Training Schedule:

Wednesday - 1900hrs > 2100hrs (juniors and seniors)
Saturday - 1600hrs > 1800hrs (juniors) | 1800hrs > 2000hrs (seniors)

Intakes:

Every 3 months, next intake > October, 2004

Attire:

Track pants and t-shirt. Practice swords (shinai) will be provided for the first few classes, after which students will be advised to purchase one for their personal use. A shinai would roughly cost anywhere between RM90 to RM120, depending on quality.

Dojo Etiquettes:

A good, basic list can be found here.

+ ++ +++

Hope this helps!

> hows the fees and requirements? any nearby public transport to the training center?
If I remember correctly it's rm30 anually, and rm10 on a monthly basis. Yeah you could drop off from the bus stop in Mid Valley and continue with a 10 minute walk to the dojo.

> is there any kendo centre anywhere else in Malaysia
Hmm, this is something I can't confirm, especially in Penang. I'm looking for a dojo there myself so that I can resume my practice whenever i'm back on the island. Rumour has it that there's one in Tanjong Tokong though. Let me know if anyone can verify this.

> i'm 17..izzit too late..?
There's no age limit, just as long as you can grab a shinai without difficulties :)

Hi, I am interested in locating the Tanjung Tokong dojo address if anyone knows about it. I live in Auckland, NZ and have been practising kendo for the past 17 years. Please email me if you know of the address.
Cheers

People, it looks like the only kendo dojo you're ever going to find in the Klang Valley is the one listed above. This is what I can confirm for now. There is however, another dojo that specializes in iaido (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iaido). I don't have the address, but it's located in Bangsar.
