Wakaba Kendo Club is organising a shiai/ joint practice event on Saturday 28th September 2024, 14:30-19:00 in the main sports hall on the first floor of Britannia Leisure Centre (https://www.better.org.uk/leisure-centre/london/hackney/britannia-leisure-centre).
The event is open to juniors aged 6 – 17 years old separated into Non-armour (with no age category) and Armour categories ( we will have the age category once we know the number of juniors attending). Shiai will be individual matches in “Round Robin” format.
Non armour participants will be required to perform basic strikes: Men, Kote and Do, as well as Kirikaeshi against Motodachi.
To take part, please use the following form to register by 21st September. https://forms.gle/vA4YTM27cpUToAmw7
There will be a registration fee of £5 per person.
In addition, please fill in and return the following Consent Form – https://forms.gle/pMDbeP71otb4QYBj9
On Saturday 28th September, participants should arrive at 13:30 to be ready for registration check at 14:00. The event will start around 14:40 and we are planning to finish the shiai to allow time for joint practice (Godo Geiko) before we finish the event at 19:00.
Finally, a request to Dojo Leaders: while we will have senior members supporting and ensuring safety of junior competitors, could each Dojo carry out Shinai check of their junior members?
