Nabeshima Cup - Results

Those of us that went to Dallas, TX, for the Nabeshima Cup and Texas Open had a great time. We managed to meet a ton of new people and actually performed quite well in the taikai. Several of us that went for the shinsa also did very well during the examination. I won't list out everybody's name here but you can go to our main website for detailed information.

An overview of the results:

Shinsa: We had seven people testing at the shinsa. Afterwards, we have 1 new 5 kyu, 1 new 3 kyu, 1 new 7 kyu, and 3 new 6 kyu students. Congratulations to them.

Taikai: Michio Kajitani sensei won the fighting spirit award for the Texas Open. An Giang won the yudansha division at the Nabeshima Cup. Two others won 2nd and 3rd place at the youth division of the Nabeshima Cup. Congratulations to them.

Pictures will be posted on the main website as they become available as well as video of some of the shiai matches.

Congratulations again.
