2013 MA Joint Practice

To celebrate the new long count and making it to 2013 we held a MA joint practice. We had a good turn out with representatives from around the state (BKK, Doshikai, Shodokan, and Sei Zan Kai). Practice seemed quick but we were there for 3.5 hours.

After a quick warm up and some suburi we had kihon practice. Followed by a friendly shiai with seven person teams. Practice ended with us all having keiko with the Sensei's.

Thanks to all the Sensei's: Yoshida, Suyama, Harrison, Poitras, Sekiguchi, and Konno that made the trip out to Randolph. Special thanks for Suyama Sensei for coming all the way.

We are considering holding a MA State Kendo Tournament in May. Please contact us via email or facebook if you are interested in attending. Thanks again and Happy New Year!

Last Practice of 2012

On Sunday 30th December 2012 we held our final practice of the year. Thanks everyone who attended and made the keiko a success.

After some kihon and waza drills we had a practice shiai. We split everyone into two teams, A and B. A lot of close and fun matches followed. Team B pulled ahead and won the honor of playing the two person Sensei Team of Ogimura playing Nito no kamae and Izumi playing Jodan no kamae. As usual we were no match for the Sensei's!

Afterward we headed over to Rick's in Randolph for second practice! See everyone next year and thanks again.

We are now on Facebook
