Halloween Party 2025

If practice falls on Halloween, why not swap footwork drills for candy drills? VKC members gathered on October 31 to spooo-kendo their hearts out—fueled almost entirely by sugar and questionable costume choices.

Joint practice with Team Canada Prospects

VKC members practiced along side Team Canada Men led by Assistant Coach Yano sensei of Whistler Kendo Club.

Sunday Practice Begins (September 2025)

We’re excited to add Sunday practices to our schedule, along with our regular Thursday and Friday sessions. The last time VKC had three practices a week was back in the late 2000s, when practices where held on Mondays at a local school in Vancouver. Because of low attendance and high rental costs, Monday practices were eventually canceled, leaving just Thursdays and Fridays.

Now we’re happy to bring back a third practice each week — Sundays — giving everyone more chances to get on the floor and practice kendo together.

Guests at Practice

During late August and early September, VKC welcomed numerous guests from different clubs and dojos to a joint practice.

August 21 – Yeon Kendo Club members

August 22 – Tozenji Kendo Club members

September 4 – Eiji-sensei from Renbu Dojo
