The 23rd Satsuki Cup and Kendó seminar has come to an end — and what an incredible weekend it was!
This year we welcomed a record-breaking 130 participants from 15 countries. Despite the heat, long training sessions and intense matches, you kept the spirit high and created an atmosphere full of energy, respect and friendship, that cross dojos and country borders.
🙇 A heartfelt thank you to Fuminori Honda sensei and Shizuka Honda sensei for their inspiring teachings. Their long-term contribution to the development of kendó in Czechia and across the region is truly invaluable.
👏 Congratulations to all successful examinees
! ⚔️ The tournament day was long and demanding, but everyone showed their best kendo and inspired others. So many beautiful, determined and passionate performances in the matches!
👔 A big thank you also goes to all referees — judging some of those lightning-fast matches was no easy task, yet you handled it with professionalism and calm. And finally: huge thanks to all volunteers and the entire organizing team. Without your dedication, this event simply wouldn’t happen.
