Dear friends,
22nd Satsuki seminar and Cup is over! Thank you very much for joining the event! We trained Kendo together and competed together. Exchanged experience and shared a good time. It was awesome! It was a great pleasure to host the event with such wonderful crowd. Over 80 people participated in the event.
Congratulations to everyone who has passed their exams! Please keep up the good work! We are very grateful to Honda sensei for teaching us! We will continue to work on his lessons and hopefully improve somehow.
Everyone please be grateful to all the referees. Despite working very hard all day, they did a fantastic job. Thank you so much!
