Tsurugi Bashi is the Kendo Society of the University of Cambridge. Our dojo is virtual: we practice wherever we can find a suitable space. What makes us a dojo is the spirit and commitment of all our members past and present; it is represented by our flag, which we bring with us and hang on the wall wherever we train.

We are a nonprofit university society, founded and intended for Cambridge students, but we also welcome other members. Beginners need to attend a 6-session training course before they can safely join a Kendo practice. Therefore we only admit new members a few times per year. The main intake is at the start of the academic year in October.

We won the University Taikai!

[04.4.2009]

In this year's Univesity Taikai held in Canterbury, eight universities went head-to-head in individual and team tournaments. The team members Satoshi Yamazaki, Daisy Chen, Min Lin, Periklis Akritidis and Tomoki Otani, led by captain Daisy won an exciting team event after Tomoki had won the Kyu-grade individuals earlier that day. Last but not least, Daisy was awarded the fighting spirit medal for the ladies individuals. 2009 has been a particularly successful year for our society, and we hope to continue like this!
