The year 2020 has begun for the University of Sydney! Welcome to the university….and… Welcome to the KENDO Club!

Three hot sunny days of meeting new people, talking about Kendo and grabbing lots of free stuff! […]

The Sydney University Kendo Club has had its current logo design for over a decade and many things have changed throughout the club’s history. To reflect these changes, the executives of 2019 have decided to replace our current logo as it didn’t have much meaning behind the design and it looked pretty outdated! The executives […]
The Semester 1’s long and hard training for half a year has finally paid off – their Kendo bogu has finally arrived from Japan on the 1st of September!

10月28号我们举行了社团的年度会议，讨论了这些年来一些重要的事项，并且还举行了换届选举。我们有很多的成员全身心投入到社团维护当中，作为教练、指导或干事，在幕后默默付出了很多。可以说我们欠了他们很多的感谢。下一年的干事在这次会议后半程选举了出来，他们是 The full list is: President – Brinton Vice Presidents – Victor and Altria Secretary – Janney Treasurer – Vincent Media and Events – Takumi Equipment Officer – Macca General Advisor – Tomomori Commercial Officer – Samantha 比起去年来这是一个更庞大的队伍，让我们做到能够理解与配合他们的工作， 这样社团这个整体便可以继续前行。去年好事坏事各有发生，但是我们还是成功突破了自己以往的成绩，今后我们也一如既往要取得更多突破。 会开完了就是BBQ的时间了！在这个场合我们对之前的干事们表示感谢，也同样感谢所有成员在过去一年的支持！同样，我们还要欢迎新的干事的加入。事实证明这场BBQ是一场为了香肠和零食的狂欢，人们为了第一个吃到香肠纷纷跟着拿托盘的人从烧烤台追到了放托盘的地方，然后转眼东西就没了。除了吃，居然还有人尝试在户外无甲进行剑道的比试，他们是真的勇士。再晚些时候，留下的人们带着惊喜欣赏了两名才子的小型音乐会，瞬间给我社增加了不少艺术细菌。
和往常一样，我们在上周五在Broadway Crown举行了一次十分愉快的酒吧聚餐来送别十月。当晚有吃有喝，有游戏也有聊天。这样的聚餐和其他社交活动一起把社员们在训练之外也能联系在一起。无论社团里地位如何在聚餐的时候一种聚会的氛围让人们相互都亲近很多。 与此同时，下场比赛近在眼前，所以玩耍过后更要继续带着必胜的决心训练！同时也希望所有学生成员们无论什么作业和考试，都能取得好成绩！
为了让我们的成员对未来的比赛准备更充分，我们部这周日举办了男子的社团内部比赛，此外下周日我们还要举办女子的内部比赛。 在今天的比赛里，每场比赛的时长都比正常的时间短一些，这就造成了一些更紧张的气氛，因为选手们必须要得分更快。这样的设置让我们为了获胜而学着努力抓住哪怕一点点小的机会得分。 除此之外，我们也要多反思自己在比赛中的表现以提升自己。从现在开始让我们训练得更刻苦，好让我们打得更好。
