Photos from UT’s Invitational Team Kendo Tournament

This weekend, the University of Texas Kendo Association and the Austin Kendo Doshikai hosted the 8th Longhorn Invitational Team Kendo Taikai here in Austin. Teams from around the U.S. and Mexico were represented.

I have to say, this was the coolest event I have had the chance to attend since moving to Austin, despite the crappy parking at UT ($10 event parking) and the fact that there weren’t a lot of seats for spectators. The event cost for guests was free. So you can’t beat that.

Here are some photos from the event:

If you didn’t get a chance to attend this year’s taikai, keep your calendar open for next year. Generally, the tournament occurs on the second or third week of October.
