The Melbourne University Kendo Club invites all beginners and seniors of MUKEN, Monash University, Victoria University, and Apollo Bay kendo clubs to the:
MUKEN "MIYAZAKI" CAMP
Date: Friday 10th of May (evening) to Sunday 12th of May (evening)
Price: $115.00, all inclusive (Apollo Bay Kendo members - $30.00)
... Location: Apollo Bay
Accommodation: Apollo Bay YHA
Transport: Carpool
(Miyazaki is a coastal city on the Kyushu island of Japan, known for it wonderful beaches and fantastic surfing conditions.)
The annual MUKEN training camp is an excellent opportunity to experience and practise kendo in an intense and sustained format, and to explore uncommon kendo techniques and practises not usually possible during regular kendo training. Everyone will be challenged both physically and mentally, and your kendo will grow exponentially during this weekend. It is an extremely rewarding camp, and the kendo of beginners who attend will be noticeably better than of those who did not; it is a great way to "fasttrack" your kendo. You will level up.
Beginners will be taught how to wear and fold the uniform properly, be able to wear armour for the first time, practise "kata" - traditional technique training with the bokuto wooden sword, and learn many new skills and exercises. There will be many interesting and fun exercises that can only be practised at camp.
Seniors will have the chance to practise and develop uncommon kendo waza and possibly alternative kendo kamae, and they will also explore the more tactical and psychological aspect of kendo.
During the evenings and nights, there will be plenty of off-time to relax. This will be an opportunity to play games, go for a walk along the beach, or perhaps just "chill". On the Saturday night a few of the clubs' best IRON CHEFS (or at least the most keen) will prepare a feast for everyone to enjoy.
-------------------
Please complete the registration form for the "MIYAZAKI" Camp (sent via email or ask your club Secretary), to be completed and submitted with payment to the club by the 15th of April. It is highly recommended that all attend as this camp is very beneficial for your kendo, but please note that due to the size of the accommodation, places are limited to 60 people!
For more information, please feel free to send an email to enquiries@muken.com.au or talk to one of the seniors at training!

In addition:
- We require IRON CHEFs who are willing to cook. If you would like to help, please let us know via email. The club will subsidise your ingredient costs. Give it a go!
- We require drivers to help with the carpool - if you can help, please let us know as soon as you can to help us with our planning. MUKEN will subsidise your petrol costs. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
