Two members of Yamato Kendokai participated in the Wakaba Cup held in Fürstenfeld, Austria at the end of May.
Artem Prykhodko: 3rd Place in Kihon-D
Mariia Shumilova: Contributed to Team match (1st Place) as Sempo
We were reminded once again that consistent, hard training brings solid results. After the tournament, they participated in a seminar by Murakami sensei on “Seme” and trained with renewed knowledge. After practice, the participants happily joined circles with friends from other dojos and countries, enjoying time with peers their age. Creating these horizontal connections is one of the main purposes of the Wakaba Cup.
It was a wonderful weekend that strongly encouraged us to keep inviting beginners to join in the future.
