Ive been ghosting these forums for a few days as a guest, and decided to register
I started kendo about 2 years back at Etobicoke Olympium Kendo Club and continue to do it to this day. Im currently Nikyu, but hopefully ill be Ikyu in a few weeks since grading is fast apporaching
I find these forums a great resource for further insight in the art. It's kool to get an idea of other people's experiances and such..

Hi.

I'm a born and raised Etobicoke resident, and i'm looking for a good place to start training kendo. I know from my shotokan experience, that dojos can differ greatly. it seems the learning experience is affected by how many other students are there, and their ages/capability level, as well as the general atmosphere.

I went to watch a practice at olympium, and aside from screaming toddlers running around the racetrack, the atmosphere seemed good.

If you can without bias give me your opinion on olympium i'd really appreciate it.

Am i better off training at the japanese cultural centre.... i'm a whitey, so would they even let me?

Heard of any other good places to train?

anybody: any advice would be awesome!

thanks!
