Hello, this is Asuka.
Last week, we had Christmas party in our Dojo. In the afternoon, we had the Butokuden Dojo tournament and in the evening we had the party.
This tournament is very memorable for everyone. In the Kids division, the smallest one, who would never be happy unless he is the top, got the first place. In the Dan division, one teenager beat his rival whom he had never beaten in the tournament before. Also in the Masters Division (over 40), a women Kenshi got the first place.

Right is 1st place in Master Division and left is 1st place in Dan Division.
During the party, we prepare many events, such as wine tasting, talent show, and gift exchange. We even had the Santa Claus to join us since our Dojo kids practiced so hard during the year.

Sant came to Butokuden!!
The first place for the talent show was won by the Masters Group!! They danced with Hawaiian costume. I saw them practice for the Talent Show harder than Kids.

These costume make them 1st Place.
Our Kids can play Kendo during the year because their mothers helps so much, so we decided to give a special gift for the Kendo Moms. We gave them Kendo Mom T-shirts!! These shirts are so cute! Every mom put wore these T-shirts during the party. They looked very pretty.

Kendo Mom Tshirts are lovely!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
