Back in 2007, Hampton Roads Kendo Dojo was established in Newport News, Virginia, by Daewon Kim sensei. The dojo has been actively training students from the area, competing at the national level, and more. The strong presence of military family in the area has also allowed us to make friends from other parts of the country, where established Kendokas were able to transition their practice at our dojo.

As a member of the South Eastern US Kendo Federation, a federation under the All United States Kendo Federation, Hampton Roads Kendo Dojo is dedicated in providing the most current and accurate Kendo curriculum to our students.

Our doors are always welcome to beginners and established Kendokas. If you have no experience in Kendo, but have interest, ask us about our 2-week free trial to get a taste of this beautiful martial art.

We look forward to meeting you at our dojo.
