kendo in japan

[samuel]

Are there any opportunities to go to Japan and learn kendo at the age of 16, as all of the budo universities have all told me I have to be 18.

Many thanks

When i was in Saga last year I visited the local school where my friend is an English teacher, and they had just won the junior high school championships. ALL of the students were under 18, most over 13, averaged say 16 same as yourself. I would think they would be pleased to see you, same as any other school, just find out where in Japan you are going and see if you can find a school website, or alternatively ask at the local kendo shop, they are always very helpful. Have a good time anyway!
