Month: November 2015

BUKA participated in the 2015 Goyokai Tournament on November 15^th.
We were able to compete with kendo players from different age-groups and backgrounds because Goyokai is a dojo-hosted competition, different from a college-hosted tournament. We brought two teams to participate and six passionate spectators.
All BUKA members tried their best in this very competitive tournament.

Here are the results:
Women’s Kyuu Division
1st place: Helen 
3rd place: Cici & Ji

Men’s Kyuu Division
3rd place: Junyan

Congratulations!

Good job to the participants, and thank you to all for supporting us.
 

This past weekend, we welcomed three members from Brown University Kendo Club  for a joint practice. We did basic bogu-practice together, and did a mock team match to practice for the Goyokai tournament coming in two weeks. One of the Brown members said, "I enjoyed the practice, but I felt it was pretty intense" (paraphrased). 

Thank you to the Brown University Kendo Club members for coming all the way from Rhode Island, and to all who attended practice.
