Its time for annual Indonesia Kendo Tournament 2012, held on May 27th 2012, in Jakarta. Followed by kendoka from all IKA affiliated regional kendo organization, like Medan, Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Malang, and Surabaya. A bit different from the usual arrangement, the tournament was held in the same day as grading test, resulted in tighter and busier schedule for either the participants and the committee. But thank God, overall, everything went smoothly, well with a bit of miss here and there, but that was normal and not so serious, i think.. :)
