The Women's Kendo Association is a support group formed by the women of the Southern California Kendo Federation. ( SCKF). It is an informal organization which meets approximately once every one or two months.
The group's main goals are to promote friendship, provide mutual support and encouragement, and to have fun. WKA is not a political organization and has no political agenda.

Visit from Hiromi Mizu Hisamatsu from Japan
Saturday, July 24, 6:00pm keiko at Tustin Dojo hosted by Tustin Dojo and e-Bogu.com To all, Mizu-san will be coming to LA and we are planning to have a practice at Tustin Dojo on Saturday (7/24) with her from 6:00PM. She is 6 Dan, and represented Tokyo for the All Japan Women's championships. Also, she won All Japan and Kanto University Championships. I think it will be a great opportunity for the Ladies to practice with her. This time she is coming with her husband, who also does Kendo. Looking forward to seeing you all. Feel free to send this e-mail around. Taro Ariga |
