Congratulations to all members of the Provincial Team headed off to Vancouver next weekend for the National Championships, including our very own Stephen Hladky sensei!

The Team Alberta nafuda have shipped for next weekend’s National Championships. Thanks to Hokubei Budogu - Kendo Shop in North America for accommodating us!

The seminar and tournament day is over. We learned alot about improving the sharpness of our strike and setting up for backwards techniques (hikiwaza). Steve sensei managed to get second place in the open division too! All in all, a successful weekend!

Anton, Yuliia, and Steve sensei are at the Saskatoon kendo seminar. Getting ready for a long day of training and tournament!

A kendo referee seminar was held today among all the clubs in the Edmonton area. It was a great opportunity to learn the fine details of the role and practice them in mock matches. Many thanks to Sturgeon Kendo for hosting and Edmonton Kendo Club for supporting the event!

Congratulations to everyone who received certificates this week for their new ranks: Noel, Tomas, Yukiko for passing 1 Kyu, Andrea and Haruna for reaching 1 Dan, and Anton and Ajin for achieving 2 Dan. All the hard work has been met with success!

First practice of the new year! Let's work hard and grow stronger!
