58th All Japan Kendo Championships

Hi Guys,
The 58th All Japan Kendo Championships will be held next Wednesday, November 3, 2010. This tournament is easily one of the most, if not the most, prestigious kendo events held during the year, gathering together some of the best kendoka in Japan.
There is a good article on who's participating this year on the Kendo World Forums. They have also promised to upload videos on their youtube account as soon as they can make it available. There are also rumors that the All Japan Kendo Federation will be streaming the event on the internet, a first in the history of the championships if ever. Another way of catching it is if you have access to NHK, they usually show at least the semi finals and finals.
Personally, I'm a bit disappointed that Shoudai is not participating this year. No exciting jodan style kendo to watch. However it would be exciting to see if Uchimura can actually win his 3rd Championship in five outings.
See you in the (virtual) gallery!
