The 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐅𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 congratulates 𝐀𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨 of Davao Kendo Club (𝐃𝐊𝐂) for her participation in the Kendo & Shinpan Seminar led by 𝐊𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐢 𝐓𝐨𝐫𝐮 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐢, 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝟖-𝐃𝐚𝐧, held in 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟗–𝟑𝟏, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔.

Having previously attended Kamei Sensei's seminar in Manila, Arlene had another opportunity to learn from Kamei Sensei—this time in Malaysia!

It is always encouraging to see our members take the opportunity to attend seminars and continue developing their knowledge and practice beyond their regular dojo training.

Experiences like these provide practitioners with new perspectives, deepen their understanding of kendo, and offer valuable lessons that can be brought back to their respective dojos and fellow practitioners.

May this experience bring new inspiration to all our members that every seminar is an opportunity to learn, grow, and deepen our love for kendo. We encourage everyone to take part in these learning opportunities whenever possible.
