Welcome to San Mateo Kendo Dojo official siteSan Mateo Kendo Dojo was founded in 1981 in San Mateo, California. It is one of eleven member schools of non profit Northern California Kendo Federation (NCKF). Our Dojo instructors teach on a voluntary basis. Also we practice kendo as a part of City of San Mateo Parks and Recreation Department activities. San Mateo Dojo charges very reasonable. We consistently place individuals to Team NCKF for All US Kendo Championship Tournament which is held every three years. As a member school of NCKF, our dojo members can attend various activities which are organized by NCKF or it's member schools including tournaments such as NCKF Championship, monthly NCKF mass practices (Godo Keiko), two annual NCKF rank testings in May and November, an annual NCKF summer camp, and special NCKF seminars. New students are always welcome.See Practice Information for more details about our kendo activities. |
