We sent 2 teams, as well as 3 shinpan. B team was captained by Cougar Kendo at the University of Houston president Ben. First timer and Cougar Kendo member Jay was able to win his first match despite having less than a year of experience. Marco of Orlando Kendo joined A team again, and A team made it to the quarterfinals, losing to 2nd place Plano. The organization was excellent, great effort by everyone!
