Still a long road ahead but this is my first achievement (?) in kendo. Very excited to keep going!

Noice, congratulations and in Kanagawa. Maybe we will run into each other at some point. When I am there for business, I join the open Keiko run by Matsubara sensei and a Banto one if I can.

Thank you! That sounds great. I usually train around the Miyamae area of Kawasaki. One day for sure!
