Referee and Team Shiai training, 24 Oct 2020

The Covid-19 pandemic changed the landscape of Kendo in 2020. In a challenging environment, the wearing of medical masks, face shields, and safe distancing during training became the new normal.

With travel restricted, we continued to practice as normally as we could, organizing several refereeing and team shiai training during the course of the year.
