The Rembuden Kendo Taikai is New Zealand's annual Kendo competition open to all-comers.
Organised and hosted by Wellington's Rembuden Kendo Club, 2020 will be the 21st consecutive running of the Taikai since inception. It is the longest running shiai in New Zealand Kendo and takes place during the first weekend of October each year. The confirmed dates for 2020 are 3rd and 4th October.
The Taikai attracts competitors from all over New Zealand and always features fiercely contested shiai in good spirit.
The Rembuden Kendo Club is grateful for the ongoing support for the Taikai from competitors and shimpan alike that continue to make it a success and contribute to the ongoing development of Kendo in New Zealand.
The Rembuden Kendo Club is also grateful for the support of Akira Nakamura who has a proud history as a competitor while also contributing as a shimpan. In 2018 Akira kindly donated medals (several years) for the Taikai.
