4th Godo Keiko
By Nella
On the 16th of October, the Singapore Kendo Club had its 4th Godo Keiko session in NUS with the rest of the affiliate clubs. (It's been 4 months since we have last had one!) The morning started off with Beginners' Class which many of our juniors took part in along with the new batch of SKC members. It is also the first time that they got to experience the whole Kendo community in Singapore training together in the same dojo. :)

Next up was Advanced Class! The highlight of the day was Nishida Sensei's farewell keiko. All of us sat down to watch as the lineup of kendokas put up a fierce fight against Sensei. For those who are interested in the videos, Jia Hui has kindly recorded some of them so do look for her if you would like to see the matches again.

Prime seats. XD
Have a safe trip back Nishida Sensei! :)
End of Advanced training!
World Kendo Championship training for the WKC team proceeded after a short break. As usual, it was training brought up to yet another level in terms of mind, speed and stamina. Overall, godo keiko has always been a useful session to brush up on the basics in Beginners' Class and to revisit specific kihon/wazas in Advanced Class. Not to mention that we can train with our Senseis and friends from the other affiliate clubs as well.
We shall look forward to the next combined training once again! :D
