Details of the competition

You have known the winners of the competition, now I am going to tell you how it is possible with the help of our members and the people around us. Without them, there will be no competition.
Also, I am going to tell you other details about the competition.

Let us start with the banner! This banner was made by the design team of SP Kenjutsu club. They consist of three people who are Brad, Hiok Ann and Yih Yang (Sorry if I missed out anyone). Let me show you the banner which they break so much sweat and cracking their brains thinking up of the cool and awesome design. Producing it is not easy either, a lot of hardwork is needed.

If you realise, it has the Halloween theme. This is because the competition wsa held very close to Halloween so our design team came up with this banner, having the element of Samurai and Halloween. Cool eh?

Other than the design team, there are of course other people working behind-the-scenes making this competition a success. Even on the day itself, the bunch of people are still doing their job to maintain the competition and make sure it is organised and goes on smoothly. Thanks to these people, we are able to enjoy the day and had lots of fun. Let us all tell them how much we appreciate their hard work and made it a great day! ^^










These are some pictures of the people working behind the desks during the competition. They ensure that the competition is well organised.


We also have a chart which to me is pretty well made, it is used to see who will fight who in the match. The selection is random, on of our organisers used an iPhone app I believe to randomise the positions the participants are placed at.

Here is a picture of our medal and trophies.










I forgot to mention that the medals are also design by our design team! The same people that created the banner. As for the trophies, they come from NihontoDo. You can see their logo on it.

Now let us see some pictures of the matches we had.











Before the match, we bow to show our respects. First to the area of play and then to the opponent. Can you see who is going to hit who in the second picture?




Check out the next two photos.

















See how the Choken bend even before it hits the opponent. This shows how fast the arm moves and I actually find the picture pretty cool. Don't you think so? In the first picture, you can see how straight the Choken is and it is pretty firm. Seeing this reminds me, remember to take good care of your equipment. Especially those who are getting a new one.

I forgot to mention, we had a war game after the competition. It has been so long since we had one. Need to have more games like this.
Free-form fighting is still the best, you can use anything in any style you want. Of course it is not possible with the real sword. Too heavy. >< Can you spot me?

That is it for this post. Train hard for the upcoming grading! Good luck to everyone! Cheers!
