Local kendo camp

This weekend Mr. J (kendo 6.dan) was visiting Oulu to teach our club members some kendo :) He has been visiting our club few times a year since the beginning and it's always nice to have him here as he is the closest senpai(先輩) for me, myself and I. Senpai is japanese term, meaning kind of mentor or "older" one giving guidance.

We had one practice session Friday evening, two on Saturday plus small sauna party and then again two on Sunday. Hard times.. Here is the super official camp pic taken by yours truly (front row, third from right)..
