1st Asia Oceania Kendo Championships (AOKC) 30-31st May 2026, Tokyo

Congratulations to Rembuden Kendo Club member, Max Lee, representing New Zealand at the 1st AOKC.  Max won the Men's Individual (3rd dan and below) division, and was recognised with a Fighting Spirit Award for his efforts in the Men's Team Event.  Max won all his fights in both events, and impressively in doing so did not concede a single point.  The AOKC featured 23 countries and over 250 competitors.  Max's achievement represents unprecedented success for a New Zealander at an international kendo tournament.  Max represented New Zealand and Rembuden Kendo Club superbly.
