Feedback from Organizer :
It has been two years since the Myanmar Kendo Federation was established. Two years have passed, and I wanted to have the opportunity to show off Kendo to the outside world, so I held this tournament. Each player is working hard intending to participate in the ASEAN Kendo Tournament in 2019. We will continue to promote Kendo, a Japanese martial art, to Myanmar.
