Hello all,
I would like your thoughts on the idea for a new Taikai (competition) The focus being familiarising/learning at all levels what’s required from fighters & referees in these events.
My suggestion is a Kyusha & 1&2 Dan Taikai with an introduction for all, To Shinpaning (refereeing). With the main objective being a learning experience.
I would like to utilise the 2nd, 3rd & 4th Dan members throughout the association, as the main Shinpan. To give a informative & practical introduction or further insight, Into this crucial part of Kendo
I would really like the Dojo DRC’s to take the lead on this, As I also think it’s a great opportunity to build relationships between clubs not only regionally but nationally.
All thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Alex Ansell
Kendo DRC Chair
