Davao Kendo Club Official Website


Davao Kendo Club (ダバオ 剣道 クラブ) was founded on May 31, 2014, by Phillip Lim, 3rd Dan, along with a group of committed pioneering students. Their goal is to promote the principles and practices of Kendo in Davao. Significantly, it is the first Official Kendo club to be established in Mindanao after World War II. 

Guided by its instructors and visiting senseis, the club is dedicated to training new kendokas and fervently upholds the virtues and etiquette (reigi) essential to Kendo practice. The commitment to these principles ensures that the club not only teaches skills, physical aspects of Kendo but also instills the core values and discipline that define the martial art.
