Is it normal for a kendo dojo to take over a week to send membership forms?

Hi everyone,

I recently decided to return to kendo after many years. I practiced in elementary and middle school in Japan, but I’ve had a long break since then.

I visited a dojo in twice. During my second visit, I was invited to join the group for suburi and uchikomi, and the instructors gave me some corrections on my form. They were very kind, and they also let my young son (who has no experience) participate a little and showed him how to handle the shinai.

At the end, I told them I would like to join. One of the instructors CC’d the dojo administrator in an email and said the admin would send me the membership forms.
It’s now been about a week, and I still haven’t received anything from the admin.

Is this fairly normal for volunteer-run kendo dojos, or should I be concerned that maybe they’re not interested in having me join?

Would you send a follow-up email, or just keep waiting?

Thanks!
