We would also like to acknowledge and thank the sensei who judged the shinsa: Sugiyama Takaki, Esaki Yuta, Shingaki Keita, Ariji Jiro, Inoue Shu, Kristopher Inting, and Ian Earl Navarro. Finally, we are equally grateful to the organizers and volunteer staff, led by Loida Estanilla-Inting and Reida-Jade Renovilla.

The event was a very successful one, and we hope to be able to make this an annual activity for the Mindanao Kendo Community!
