Not necessarily true. Our club does not have AUSKF membership.

Sorry. Since he's new to the whole kendo thing, I thought I'd steer him clear of the typical non-AUSKF affiliated dojo.

Latrech, steer clear if a "dojo" has any of the following...

1. An explaination of why their kendo is "more combat oriented" than kendo.
2. If you are asked to pay the several months of dojo fees at one time.
3. If they have patches all over themselves.
4. If they play music in the background during practice.
5. If the instructor demands loyalty.
6. If they "teach" you to cut things with real swords.
7. If your instructor talks a lot about Musashi Miyamoto.
8. Ninjas
9. The instructor demands you change clothes in front of them.
10. If the dojo also offers tae kwon do.
11. If there is a poster of a tiger on the wall.
