Courage isn’t always loud or heroic. It’s the quiet decision to show up again, even when doubt lingers and the outcome is uncertain. 🌳

In celebration of Women’s Month, the Philippine Kendo community proudly recognizes our women athletes for representing our art and sharing their insights during their recent television interview.

We would like to thank 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗱𝘂𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗼𝗻 and 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗼𝘀 for their professionalism and dedication in helping promote Kendo to a wider audience.

Our heartfelt gratitude also goes to 𝗞𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗶 for his efforts in organizing and facilitating this valuable opportunity for the sport to be featured on national television.

We likewise thank PTVSports Network for providing a valuable platform to highlight the growth and spirit of Kendo in the Philippines.

For those who wish to watch the interview again, you may view it through the link provided below:

Through continued collaboration and shared commitment, we look forward to further strengthening the visibility and development of Kendo nationwide.

Kendo is often thought to be something that must be started in early childhood, but that is not necessarily true. Adult beginners are an indispensable presence when we consider the future of Kendo. Nabeyama Takahiro Kyoshi 8th Dan, who has devoted many years to teaching at the University of Tsukuba, explains how to continue enjoying Kendo and improve steadily over the long term after taking it up out of passion.
