A few weeks ago, members of Cebu Kendo Club spent a weekend together in the mountains of Cebu to commemorate the death anniversary of our late Sensei, Isagani Batayola.
The weekend was filled with good conversations, shared meals, stories, and endless laughter 😂. His guidance continues to shape who we are, both inside and outside the dojo.
One thing he taught us was to always aim for improvement—whether in technique, form, or mind. We constantly remind ourselves that we are works in progress. We may never reach perfection, but we strive to grow, step by step.
Thank you to everyone who joined and helped make the gathering meaningful. May we continue to honor his memory by carrying his teachings forward.
