From May 9 to 11, 45 MUKEN members, 23 Monash Kendo Club, and 2
Ballarat Kendo Club members came together in Ballarat for a weekend of
intensive training. Of those, 44 were beginners who started learning
kendo in the beginning of 2014.These people braved the cold weather and
floor, and risked the ire of their mothers, all in order to develop and
improve their kendo and character. To guide us we were thankful to have
amazing teachers in Yakov Macak Sensei, Hyun Hong Cho Sensei, Kenji
Sugimoto Sensei, Daniel Jeong Sensei, and Gary Oliver Sensei who
sacrificed their time for our sakes.
I would also like to thank Our
Eternal Chairman Viet Hoang and all the committee members along whom
each have done so much in making this camp happen. From the planning and
preparation phase, to the day to day operations, without all these
people our camp would have certainly turned into a reenactment of Lord
of the Flies. Thank you all!
