Wendy Kyle started her Kendo training over a decade ago at San Kawa Kendo Dojo in Rosebank. As part of her time there, she was involved in leading classes and teaching people of all ages, both children and adults alike. In 2017, she decided to split off and found her own Kendo Dojo in Olivedale. Thus Shi Hoko Kendo Dojo was born. By the end of 2018, Shi Hoko core member group had expanded enough that it had to move to our current training location in Randburg.

Shi Hoko has members from all walks of life, young and old, in all different parts of their kendo journey. Wendy is a 3rd Dan and assissted by Mitchell Kyle who is currently 5th Dan. Shi Hoko also boasts multiple medal winners and members that have been part of the national team and represented South Africa internationally.
