The goals of kendo are to build a strong healthy body and to develop a sound character with perseverance, mental fortitude, and the ability to quickly and keenly observe, analyze, understand, and promptly cope with any situation. These qualities can be aptly applied to our everyday lives. (Kendo: Aiea Taiheiji Kendo Manual, 1995, Hawaii Kendo Federation) You are welcomed to join our practices every Wednesday night at 7:00pm at the Wahiawa Hongwanji Recreation Center.
