I moved to SH about 2 years ago and re-started Kendo after about a 10 year absence. One more club to add to Slidercrank's excellent list is KatsushinKai www.shanghaikendo.com. Instruction in Chinese, some English speaking regulars, very friendly club members, mostly beginners under 3dan and good kihon instruction.

Kenshi Kai practices Wed pm and Sat am
Japanese School practices Tue pm and Sun am (I think they stopped accepting adult members due to space constraints, but are switching locales in Oct.)
Katsushin practices Wed pm and Sat pm

I think there is Iaido and Jodo practice on Monday pm with Kenshi Kai.

I relly love the Kendo here, very large variety of Kenshis from all over the world from SE Asia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, EU, US and of course Chinese. Downside is the international folks are somewhat transient. Oh and some very inexpensive kendo gear.

Drop me a line when you get here and I will be happy to share what i know in person. Japan is just a 2hr flight away and you could even ferry over to Osaka from Shanghai.
