Texas A&M University Kendo Kyokai
Founded: 1999
Texas A&M University (College Station, TX)
The purpose of this club is to allow students, faculty, and members of the Texas A&M University community the opportunity to learn and practice Kendo: Japanese fencing. It is the training of martial arts through the use of shinai, the bamboo representation of the Japanese katana. The purpose of Kendo is to discipline the human character through the aspects of budo, and to compete against others as a competitive sport.
