Big congratulations to those participating in this weekend’s SA Kendo Championship. Extra kudos as Flinders brings home the double 🏆🥇: both dan and kyu teams ftw 🤙

Also a big up to those successfully grading, with a special mention of our very own Darrell reaching the 1D milestone. Big up and well done. 🙏

As we’re approaching grading times, some are trying to brush up on or hone their kata. Here’s one of our absolute favourite videos from two incredible kendoka: Nihon kendo kata (1-10) from Kendo World Keiko-Kai (2012). Enjoy and good luck 😉
