+ T-Shirt Design Contest 2017
Designers/Artists Wanted
If you are a designer or an artist with a lot of love toward kendo or samurai culture, come and join the contest!

The prizes will be...
  • 2 T-shirts with the designs 
  • The designer's name and website will be promoted on the sales page
Theme is something people want to wear! 

It can be cool. It can be cute. It can be only words... Anything you can think of is fine. But it has to be what people has to wear.

And by doing so, we can promote kendo as well. 
  • Designers can use their talent and create designs that people like.
  • People will be happy to wear t-shirt with good design.
  • Kendo will be promoted by people wearing designer's t-shirt.
  • Designer's names and websites will be promoted.
  • Kendo For Life, LLC can raise funds with t-shirt with the winning designs
  • KFL can be more active so...
  • More useful videos, podcasts and articles will be available for the kendo community
I am really hoping everyone can benefit out of this contest. So I am hoping that everyone will be participating as a designer or as a voter.

Kendo For Life, LLC is holding this T-shirt Design Contest to raise funds for events such as holding a seminar.

I needed more than $5,700 to hold a seminar in 2015 to start with. And I raised more than $2,200 by selling t-shirts. But many people also donated. Together with donation, $5,000 was raised. It made a loss from having held the seminar, but with support from a lot of people, I could pay off almost 88% of the initial cost!

Please do participate in this contest. If it is not for me, please do it for your talented friend who is looking for an opportunity to show off his/her design to the world. Please do it for the kendo community that always wants to promote kendo.


I am so excited and looking forward to it!
+ Podcast: "Fight with" Series
Have you been listening to this podcast series of The Way to Fight? The series start with "Fight with..." and it is about what you should work on to win a match.

The series is based on a book written by Akira Kaida sensei (8-dan). Kaida sensei is taking jodan in the video going against the late Toda sensei (nito). 

Kaida sensei teaches kendo at university in Kagoshima prefecture in Japan. His lessons are very valuable to us too.

Hope you like the series!
Photo Taking For Kendo Guide For Beginners will Begin
Photo taking for my book, Kendo Guide For Beginners will begin this weekend, 2/25. Initially it was last week but the photographer, one of my student/CEO of PetPalsTV got sick. 

The photos will be for instructions so they must be vivid and clear and rather than blur, right?

And thanks to many new patrons who gave me funds through patreon.com, we could start up this project. Thank you again, patrons!​​​

If you like the videos, podcasts and articles I create, please consider to become my patron!
