MKC is the one where I wanna be in, they've been here since the 90's and they have the most japanese senseis. Both clubs have visited Davao Ken to teach since we're the newest club in the country, and i must say i really like MKC's approach 
Bit of a warning tho. Kendo monthly fee is relatively cheap, like from 600 to 1k per month, it's the equipment that'll kill you. Roughly 2900 for your gi and hakama, 1500 for a shinai that you need to replace every 4 months, and 16000 to 24000 for the armor when you get to a certain level 6 months later
Thanks for the response dude. Yeah I'm aware of the "monthly is cheap, equipment is not cheap" idea. I'm really trying to expand my Martial arts repertoire even more that's why.

Hmm... Before I got married I used a workout without any equipment a chinup bar helps but if you dont any tree or doorway will do... check out convict conditioning by Coach Wade....
My work out was as follows:
50 Push ups -- you can use the wall or the floor depending on your fitness level even against a table...
20 Chinups -- if you cant do a chinup... you can start by doing chinups under the table...
50 squats
20 leg raise -- best done on a chinup bar... if you dont have one you can use the edge of your bed
20 Bridges -- any floor or on your bed... if you cant do a bridge then do hip raises first...
5mins plank...
