We had a successful dojo shinsa with the help of Memphis Kendo Club. In addition to the shinsa, we had a LR vs Memphis Team Taikai. This time around, Memphis managed to win the Cup.
Congratulations to our members for passing their rank examinations.
Pictures and official news will be posted on the main Arkansas Kendo Club webpage.
Our next order of business will be a seminar and shinsa in Nashville or Memphis in December hosted by the SEUSKF. There we will like to see one of our members try for ikkyu.
Good job everyone.

Arkansas Kendo Club - Size
After a quick peek at the 2007 SWKIF Roster... Arkansas Kendo appears to be neck and neck for the 2nd largest dojo group in the entire SWKIF region, losing only to the Dallas group.
Dallas has about 40-50 members while AKC has about 20 give or take 3. The closest group next is the Oklahoma City Kendo group with Brian Mosley.
While it is great we have the membership numbers, the average age of our members is by far lower than the other dojos. A majority of our members are under 18 :P

New News...
New event... October 28, 2007, is event day in Little Rock, AR.
At the start of the day, we will have a dojo shinsa with the aid of Memphis Kendo.
Afterwards, we will hold another team taikai against Memphis.
Lastly, open keiko with whoever.
Get info from An Giang or Kajitani sensei.
We are also trying to get a few more sensei invited to have bigger and better event. Everyone should mark their calendars and bring their friends.
By then, I should have had enough time to do some video editing of the team matches in Atlanta for the SEUSKF Championships. I will share them.
Thanks!
