The Annual Christmas Shiai and Party of IGA-Kendo Club was a big success! The events will be covered in a longer article, but allow me this opportunity to express my gratitude to the following people:

Igarashi-Sensei and Junko-San - To the spiritual parents of IGA-Ken, without you and your dedication to Kendo and all your students, we wouldn't be having the time of our Kendo lives. We are very lucky to have met you and become your students and friends.

In spite of that glitch, the event sta...
