Kirill has been in NZ training with Rembuden Kendo Club for 4 years. Time has gone by quickly. Sad to see Kirill depart the club and NZ. But we wish him and his family the best for the future!
Safe travels back to Japan. We wish Kengo and his family all the best for the future.
Squeezed in a training with Walter during his short visit to NZ. Worked up a good sweat.
