This past weekend witnessed the 9th National Kendo Teams Gathering, which commenced with an open training session at the Dojo FΓΆnix Iaido Kendo Club in Budapest. The event hosted participants from more than 30 countries, drawing attendees not only from Europe but also from distant locations like Australia, South Africa and Japan.
The event drew over 200 participants, making it a notable assembly for the Kendo community.
We extend our appreciation to the referees for their dedication to ensuring fairness and excellence throughout the tournament. Their commitment significantly contributed to the overall success of the gathering.
Special thanks go to the organizers for their meticulous planning and tireless efforts in making the event seamless and memorable for all participants. Their attention to detail and passion for Kendo were evident in every aspect of the gathering.
As we reflect on the weekend, let us collectively acknowledge the shared moments of competition, camaraderie, and mutual respect. The 9th National Kendo Teams Gathering served as a reminder of the global community within the world of Kendo.
Looking ahead, we anticipate the next World Kendo Championship in Milan 2024. May the experiences from Budapest propel us with renewed determination toward the challenges and triumphs on the path to Milan.
With gratitude to all who contributed to the success of this event, we look forward to the continued growth and success of Kendo on the international stage. Onward to Milan 2024 β let the spirit of Kendo thrive!
