June Kendo Shinsa 2026: Congratulations to Our Passers!

The June Kendo Shinsa has officially concluded, marking another milestone of growth and dedication for our members. Held last June 21 at the Aero Center Basketball Court in Quezon City, the event brought together practitioners from across the Metro Manila.

Stepping onto the floor to test their skills and advance in rank takes effort, and the entire club is incredibly proud of everyone who challenged themselves.

Please join us in celebrating our successful candidates!

Gratitude to Our Community and the UKFP

An achievement like this is never a solo effort. It is the result of a community that trains, supports, and grows together.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to our Sensei, Senpai, and the entire Metro Kendo Club community for looking after each other, pushing one another during practices, and providing constant encouragement.

We also express our deepest gratitude to the United Kendo Federation of the Philippines (UKFP) for organizing and hosting the Shinsa, which allows the local Kendo community to continually move forward.

Congratulations once again to all the passers. See you all at the next practice as we continue to build on this momentum!
