Greetings fellow Kendoka!
The Kendo Club of the George Washington University would like to cordially invite you to Godo Keiko at GW on Saturday, October 20th. Unfortunately this year we could not get Kato Sensei to come to GW for our Annual Kendo Tournament this fall due to his very busy schedule. Due to this and other complications this year we have decided to postpone our tournament until Spring and hold a Godo Keiko instead.
Godo Keiko, or Good will Keiko will give everyone an opportunity to do keiko with kendoka from other dojos and clubs. We encourage you to attend and meet & keiko with people from the surrounding area. It will be a fun and great experience for everybody who attends. We hope that many kendoka can attend. Afterwards, we are planning to have a get-together at a nearby pub (everybody can come!) to socialize.
We will be sending out a detailed schedule (It will most likely be from the afternoon) and registration form in the next few days. We ask that you register so we know how many people will be attending. For now, please mark your calendars!
Please feel free to contact me at kendo@gwu.edu or (207)522-9955. We understand that some of you may be unable to travel far for a godo keiko, so for anyone who might not be able to attend we look forward to seeing you in the spring at our official tournament!
Sincerely,
Mana Yamada
Former President, Kendo Club at George Washington, Godo Keiko Organizer
ps If I missed any other clubs or dojos, please pass this along to whoever may be interested!
Sounds like an opportunity to practice with a variety of people.
