Norwalk Kendo Dojo has been asked to put on a kendo demonstration
and basic kendo lesson
at Camp Hanabi, the Southeast Japanese School and Community Center's
week-long camp for 5- to 10-year-olds.
If anyone has small shinai, eg size 36 or 37, please bring them to the
dojo (we can fix "lightly broken" ones)
