2022 Nisei Week Tournament

Happy to say that Southern California Kendo Federation (SCKF) held its first Kendo tournament in over 2 years, missing do to Covd restrictions in California. Last Sunday, April 30, 2022, the (early) Nisei Week Tournament was held in Little Tokyo Terasaki Budokan which marked the return of Kendo to LT in many years. This was a youth/non-yudansha tournament that had participants from So. California Kendo Organization (SCKO), No. California Kendo Federation (NCKF), Western Kendo Federation (WKF), and Central California Kendo Federation (CCKF).
The event was done with protocols, including masking, for all participants, officials, and spectators. Everyone was happy to just get back to doing shiai. In the end, we were all winners!
