Hello,

I asked someone at the tournament to email me regarding the video of the 4dan and up Men's final. When I got home, i realized I gave him the wrong email address. If you are reading this, please add a 7 before the 9 in the address.

Also, if anyone else was able to video this match, please contact me via PM.

What's a Shufukai and a Goyokai?

[Toecutter]

What's a Shufukai and a Goyokai?

Shufukai is the name of the local dojo in Randolf
Goyokai is the name of the tournament, although I believe it has more meaning but I'm not sure what.

[Dervish]

I thought Kenshinkai A won 2nd place in teams?

That's one taikai I wish I didn't have to miss!

[5ro]

You are right. Kenshinkai A did win 2nd place in teams. Thanks for catching that.
