ancient art of Kendo comes to life in the heart of

the Netherlands. Established in 1988 by the res-

pected Bert Heeren-sensei, our dojo is a sanctu-

Inspired by the teachings of Isao Furuya-sensei,

we embody the philosophy of 'improvement of

mind and body through training'. Our dojo, loca-

ted in Amstelveen, is a place where tradition and

passion converge, and where members of all ages

- from 7 to 70+ years - can practice and master

the art of Kendo.

At Renshinjuku, we strive for excellence, not only

in our techniques but also in the development of

character and discipline. Our membership is a vi-

brant mix of individuals from diverse back-

grounds, from recreational athletes to competitive

fighters who have graced national and internatio-

nal stages. Our dojo is proud of the quality of our

training and the achievements of our members,

who regularly secure finalist positions in

competitions.

We invite you to become part of our thriving com-

munity. Whether you are taking your first steps on

the path of Kendo or looking to elevate your skills

to the next level, Renshinjuku Kendo Dojo offers a

supportive and stimulating environment where

every strike, every stance, and every confrontation

contributes to your journey of personal growth

Kendo in our dojo

Kendo, the modern incarnation of the ancient

Japanese art of swordsmanship, is more than just

a sport; it is a path to self-discipline, respect, and

inner strength. This dynamic martial art combines

physical skill with mental focus, where practitio-

ners, known as kendoka, commit not only to per-

fecting their strikes with the shinai (bamboo

sword) but also to personal growth.

In our kendo club, we welcome everyone who

wishes to explore this noble discipline, regardless

of age or experience. Join our community and dis-

cover the power of kendo: a sport that challenges

both body and mind, a community that supports

one another, and a tradition that takes you on a

lifelong journey of improvement. Come and be

part of our kendo family, where every strike and

defense contributes to a stronger, more focused

you. This is your chance to be part of something

great – seize the sword and begin your kendo ad-

venture today!
