2nd NUS Kendo Championships Series 2
By NellaNUS kendokas arrived at MPSH 6 on the evening of 3rd June for yet another adrenaline-filled event! A sequel to Series 1 held in March is none other than the next quarter of our internal tournament--Series 2!
Rows of men by the courtsOur belongings lined up by the walls of MPSH as we get ready for the tournamentKendokas gearing up for practiceThe evening started at a comfortable pace as we came down rather early for tournament setups and warm up practices. Most importantly, many had to prepare their hearts and minds in anticipation of the numerous intensive matches to come. After the opening of the tournament by Peter
sensei and Weber, first up was the round robin ladies match between Melissa, Anthea, Steffi and myself!
For the four of us, it was our second time in an actual
shiai. Every match was a learning experience in its own unique way, especially fighting with those that we have never faced within the tournament before.
The next part was the much awaited men's elimination matches. Like the previous series, there were various exciting matches once again back to back! Not to mention one of which was Jingyang's long
encho match again (this time with Nasution). XD We then proceeded on the the finals after a short break. Here are the finalists for Series 2!
:)As usual, we will end off with free
keiko after the tournament! Snippets of photos ahead~.
