November 3rd is the Culture Day national Holiday in Japan, and for kendo enthusiasts around the world, it is synonymous with the All Japan Kendo Championships at the Nippon Budokan, Tokyo. However, it's extra special this year as the women's championships will be held on the same day in the same venue!
Usually, the men's competition is held on on two shiai-jo for the first three rounds, before moving to one shiai-jo for the quarters, semis, and final. This year, however, the Nippon Budokan's big dojo will be divided into four shiai-jo with the men's 72nd AJKC and the women's 63rd AJWKC being held concurrently. The action will take place on four shiai-jo for the first three rounds (two each for the men and women), and two shiai-jo for the quarterfinals (one each). Then, from the semifinals onwards, the action will alternate between the men and women on one shiai-jo.
The Kendo World Team will of course be there in attendance trying hard to capture as much of the action as we possibly can. In the days after the tournament, we'll be uploading highlight videos to our YouTube and other social media channels.
We're looking forward to a great kendo double-header!!
Below are details of both the men's and women's competitors.
