History

Costa Mesa Kendo Dojo (CMKD) was founded in 1975 by Takeshi Yamaguchi Sensei. Our Dojo is a member of the Southern California Kendo Federation (SCKF) and is recognized by the All United States Kendo Federation (AUSKF). Throughout our 40 year history in Orange County, we have produced countless team and individual champions. Our members have managed, coached, and competed at World Kendo Championships, the U.S. Kendo Championships, and many other major events held throughout the world. We are proud of our many CMKD kenshi who have represented our country as a part of Team USA and competed nationally as members of Team SCKF. We offer more Sensei (Instructors, 4 Dan and above) than most Dojos in America, and our students benefit from one of the lowest ratios of student-to-Yudansha. You will get personal instruction and attention from our very accomplished group of Sensei at CMKD.
