At the start of the year 2010, Igarashi Koji-sensei started training a small group of interested individuals and University of the Philippines students in the way of the sword. This group has come to be known as “IGA-Ken”. The members of IGA-Ken hope to continue to learn and teach the way of the sword to the rest of the university community, so that someday we will have our own UP-Kendo Club.
Mission Statement: To foster and develop interest and participation in the martial art of Kendo in the University of the Philippines in particular and throughout the Philippines in general.
