University Kendo Championships 2006 The 10th annual British University Kendo Championships was held at Oxford University Sports Centre on Sunday 19th March. Over 60 competitors from 10 different universities turned out for an exciting day of fencing, despite many being in the thick of “exam crisis”! The standard of the kyu grade competition was exceptionally high, especially considering many of the participants started their Kendo career at Uni and have therefore been training for less than 18 months. The worthy victor was Dipak Choudhary of UKKC. In the Dan grade section we were treated to some super-fast shiai action from the Japanese competitors. The exception was Max Davies (Portsmouth) who battled through to the semis, but the final was a zen-Nippon affair between Kamegawa (UCL) and Kohira (Oxford). The ladies’ final was a skilful match between Misato Makita (Gloucester) and Reiko Shimoda (Cambridge). The grand finale was the team comp, which culminated in an all UCL dust-up. The “home-grown” A team put up a valiant fight but the mighty B team (Saito, Tosaka, Treen, Kamegawa, Matsuoka) won through. Gibbo was so pleased he nearly bought a round! http://www.kendo.org.uk/newsevents/daigakutaikai/06/unikendochamps06.shtml Oct 06 06, 2:08 PM

A nice answer, but the University championships are a 'team' event, not singles, and it is not the event that determines the British champion. His name is,however, mentioned in your answer. Oct 07 06, 2:32 AM
