Update #1 (2012-01-24 by Mony): This event has been added to the Calendar.

 

News from Katie about the Nittaidai visit coming up!

Hi all,

This year we are again lucky enough to have senseis and students from the prestigious Nippon Sports Science University joining us for the weekend of the 18th – 20th February.

As always, the highlight of this weekend will be the demonstration given by students on the Saturday evening. This is an unmissable event – not only will we get the chance to see some elite level kendo, but practitioners from a variety of other Japanese arts (think aikido, karate, kyudo, sumo and shorinji-kenpo) will also display their skills.

Put this in your diary! If possible, hijack your friends’ and family members’ diaries as well and put it in theirs. This is an event that everyone will enjoy.

Here’s the details:

Date: Saturday, 18th Feb

Time: 5.00

Place: Center Showcourt, Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Center. 1 Aughtie Drive, Albert Park.

In addition, the VKR will be holding a joint keiko for Victorian kendoka and Nittaidai staff and students. Again, this is not to be missed!

The details:

Date: Sunday, 19th Feb

Time: 9.30 – 11.30

Place: North Melbourne Recreation Center. 204 – 206 Arden Street, North Melbourne.

There will be a lunch to welcome the Nittaidai party following this keiko. Details will be announced as they are confirmed.

See you there,

Katie

So note this down in your diaries everyone and let’s not miss out~!
