You can choose the date and time slot you prefer at checkout.
LEVEL 1 WORKSHOP - £15 ( one time payment )
For those new to KENGIDO. This will be the same as the Level 1 workshop that took place in July 2022. If you missed it the first time or if you want a refresher, select this option!
LEVEL 2 WORKSHOP - £20 ( one time payment )
Exclusively for students that attended the Level 1 workshop in July 2022 or for those who attend a Level 1 workshop in November prior to attending a Level 2 workshop. This is also open to those who enroll in the Seminar (more on that below).
SEMINAR / KENGIDO UK SCHOOL - £80 ( one time payment )
Exclusively for those interested in enrolling as long term OFFICIAL KENGIDO students, with ongoing classes expected to start in 2023. This money will fully go towards funding the school and covering all associated costs that go into creating a school of this nature, as well as covering costs for the Seminar itself. What is a school without students? So we need your support :)
This seminar will be a 2 hour session where you’ll experience the same class structure taught in Japan and is for those committed to being part of the international KENGIDO family. By registering to this seminar you are committing to joining the monthly KENGIDO classes for at least one month once they start in 2023. If you wish to receive your bokken and white belt on the day of the seminar, you must place an order by 23:59 on the 22nd of October 2022. Any tickets purchased after that date will receive their belt and bokken at a later date as this will need to be shipped from Japan.
The fee for this seminar will include:
- Your enrollment fee into the KENGIDO system in Japan
- 1x Official KENGIDO white belt
- 1x Your very own wooden Bokken
- Special Seminar with Tetsuro Shimaguchi
MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP ( only due once classes start in 2023 )
For the ones joining the Seminar: Due to the high costs of London locations, we need to assess the frequency of these sessions based on how many people are truly committed to attending the KENGIDO classes in 2023. In order for us to make a decision on the frequency, could you please select the choice that you are willing to commit to during the Seminar check out process?
Option 1: Monthly session
- Length: 2h/session
- Monthly Price: £20
Option 2: Fortnightly session (every 2 weeks)
- Length: 2h/session
- Monthly price: £40
Option 3: Weekly session
- Length: 2h/session
- Monthly price: £60
All the options will be on location, taught by either Tetsuro Sensei or one of his Brown or Black Belt students, live from Japan over Zoom on a large projector screen. These 2h classes will likely take place either on Saturdays or Sunday mornings due to the time difference with Japan. Exact time and location are yet to be determined. Monthly price would need to be paid by the 15th of the previous month. If anything is unclear, please don't hesitate to contact me: [email protected]
