Hmmnnn...A mate of mine called Isao (a Nidan) took over the Flinders Uni Kendo club and I joined up, on and off in 1999. I stopped for about a year and then started fully with Murdoch Uni Kendo Club. Never turned back since.

Murdoch is a good club. We provide the bulk of Kendoists for WA's state team. Usually the whole state Kyu team consists of Murdoch boys.

I think in Australia it is nice because the club usually has bogu sets to rent out to new kendokas.

Murdoch has a good environment and has seen a bunch of home-grown kendokas go into the Dan stage. We got a nice number of Dan holders, Middle Kyu and beginners.

In Malaysia one is expected to buy a set after 3 months...expensive commitment. In Kuala Lumpur (Mlaysia) The Kendo community is pretty large because of the large number of japanese ex-pats in KL.

Malaysian Kendo is doing pretty well but the dojo is a bit small.
