Do You Need A Black Belt Before You Can Begin Learning Kendo?

I really want to learn and I quit karate a few years ago. Do I need a black belt to learn kendo, or is there a dojo that will accept me without any belt?

Sorry if my questions stupid, I know nothing about this.

Answer: Thank you very much for your question and I am so sorry about the delay of my response.

No. You do not need any grade in any martial arts to do kendo. Just yourself is needed :)

Hope this helps.
