Nashville Kendo Club (NKC)

Dear Kenshi,

We would like to invite you to the 2nd Annual ECUSKF Student Tournament to be held on Sunday, November 8th in Lexington, KY at the University of Kentucky, Alumni Gymnasium. The tournament last year showed that the kendo spirit is strong in the young kendo players of our region.. We hope that this year’s tournament will be just as successful in igniting your kendo spirit.

For those who have time, there will be a godo-keiko Saturday, November 7th at 3:30pm to coincide with CKKC (Central Kentucky Kendo Club) practice, held at CKJS gym. Everyone is welcome to join this practice.

In this packet you will find entry forms, schedule, and travel and hotel information.

It is our hope that you can join us for a day of spirited competition, camaraderie and friendship.

Best wishes,
Toshiya Otsuki, ECUSKF
