There were 11 students from Penn State University Kendo Club and 5 members of Ken Wa Kan West Chester attended the 17th Annual Shidogakuin Youth/Collegiate Tournament on Sunday, Feb. 21, and the shimpan seminar on Saturday, Feb. 20.
Congratulations to Mr. Steve Cheney from Ken Wa Kan-PSU Kendo Club won the 3rd place at the Individual Division-19 years old and up Mudansha at the tournament!
Besides Steve's victory, many of our participants moved to 2nd, 3rd, 4th matches, or even quarter finals at the individual division games. Congratulations to them as well.
Steve always attends our West Chester classes and the practices in Hershey whenever he can during the school breaks. He works hard at helping the PSU kendo club and his own kendo study. We thank Dr. Gingrich's teaching and hard working, also some PSU senior students' help to make this club running well and getting stronger everyday. I am looking forward to seeing this kendo club growing.
Yesterday evening, Feb. 23, we had a kendo 3-Dan visitor, Miss Kozue Sasaki from Japan who is a current short-term exchange student at Westtown High School. We had a very nice practice session with her, and we welcome her to come back to our class during her stays in the US.
