We are very happy to announce that the UKFP has a new member club, the Tiger Kendo Club (TKC)! They are the first and (currently) only Kendo Club in Central Luzon, based out of Angeles City, Pampanga. TKC is a very motivated group, with lots of plans to help spread and develop Kendo in the Central Luzon region. We are very excited to have them in the UKFP, and we look forward to working with them in the years to come.

Last Saturday, Jan 28, 2023, the La Herencia Davao Compound in Davao City (the home dojo of the Davao Kenyukai Kendo Club) was the host of the inaugural Apo Cup. This is a kendo tournament that pit teams of three in friendly competition against one another. This was also the first UKFP sanctioned tournament since 2019.
