We had a VERY full day of kendo this weekend! First, we had our last practice with our friend Aoyama sensei, who is moving back to Japan soon. Thank you, Aoyama sensei, for all your advice, help and inspiration. We have enjoyed learning from you and practicing with you over the years, and we hope to see you again! Next, it was our last day of our summer challenges, which we have been doing every Saturday this summer. Today's challenge involved a LOT of suburi! After practice we had a party with an ice cream truck and suika-wari, or watermelon cutting! We had a great day, full of kendo, friends and fun!
