At the beginning of the kyu grading held by Rembuden Kendo Club on 24 October 2020.  Looking composed but probably nervous, holding the shinai tighter than normal with a cold sweaty grip.  Despite that all performed well.  Congratulations!

The 21st consecutive annual Rembuden Kendo Taikai was completed this weekend. Kendo was the winner. Regardless of the results, it was a fantastic opportunity for us in New Zealand to come together and cross swords. Due to COVID-19 everyone was a bit rusty and not quite match fit, nevertheless there was great spirit, intensity and skill demonstrated during the weekend. It was great to see a lot of young talent present, displaying some amazing kendo - but perhaps more importantly showcasing the bonds of friendship across different dojo that will be the core to the future of the New Zealand Kendo Community. Thanks to the competitors, Shinpan, mums and dads, supporters, helpers and Sushi Bi restaurant (for the lunches), you all contributed to making this a memorable event. Special thanks as always to 
Alan Stephenson
