As from 27 September 2021, the "Rivonia Kendo Club", will now be known as the "RKC Dojo"and will have two branches, one in Rivonia and the other in Observatory. Both of these dojo's are in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The RKC Dojo Observatory will train Kendo every Tuesday and Thursday from 7pm to 8:30pm at the Observatory Sports Club, 59 Frederick Street, Observatory, Johannesburg (South Africa).
On Tuesday, 5 October 2021, the RKC Dojo in Observatory, east of Johannesburg, will officially open its doors to begin kendo training!
The agenda for our inaugural training session is as follow:
7pm - 7:15pm: Opening Ceremony
7:15 - 8:30pm: Kendo Training
ALL RKC members, as well as all other SAKF members are welcome to attend our inaugural session!
If you have any interested family members or friends who stay close by that area, and would like to start kendo, please let them know about the RKC Dojo Observatory!
As a GRAND OPENING SPECIAL, anyone who joins up in the month of OCTOBER 2021, they will receive a 25% discount off their monthly training fee for the REST of 2021 (i.e. October, November and December). T&C's will apply!
All existing RKC Kendo members (except for online members) can train at BOTH the Rivonia dojo and the Observatory dojo at NO ADDITIONAL FEE, meaning that a RKC member could train up to 4x a week at the dojo's, PLUS and an additional 2x a week online. That is 6x a week of Kendo training!
The RKC Dojo's training schedule will change slightly to ensure maximum efficiency of the dojo's times and the online training times. Please take a look at the latest updated schedule here: https://www.rivoniakendo.co.za/schedule-and-booking.
