27th Belgian Kendo Championships 2004 - Loverval 28/03/2004

As always the Belgian Kendo Championships are organised at the beginning of Spring. Even though the date wasn't perfect because of the change to summertime everybody was present for the crossing of the shinai. Thanks to those who came for afar for which proved to become a marathon ..... our friends from Lille and The Netherlands. Our thanlks also to those who organised the tournament, members and friends of Todokan, and ofcourse the competitors themselves for without them there would be no tournament....

We specially want to thank Eurobogu for the shinaibags donated as "Fighting Spirit"
