SPANISH SHORINJI KEMPO FEDERATION: 2009 NATIONAL TAIKAI IN MALAGA

Last June, the 6th, the 2009 Spanish national taikai was celebrated in Malaga, in the "Tiro Pichon" sports centre, ceded by the city council, which also collaborated on it by promoting the event and news coverage by a press conference held in the very city hall. This event was organized by FESK through the Shokema branch.

This year, the kenshis attendance was pretty large, as in children's category as in adults one, grouping around 200 kenshis together in this event.

It was opened with some words from the Granada Branch Master and wsko representative, Carlos V. Garcia Cruz, and from the Shokema Branch Section and the FESK competition committee president, Toni Gomez. Then was started with Chinkon Gyo by the Cartagena group Master (Guipuzcoa-Norte Branch), Juan Luis Escot, followed by a warming up to get ready for the beginning of the competition.

The taikai was developed in several tatamis at the same time, one for the children's category, and one for the adults one and every single kenshi showed an extraordinary skills.

As we mentioned, we could enjoy due to the high standard in the embus and the prizes was widely distributed.

After the prize-giving, we gave way to the "supportive kenshi" song, with which we wanted to promote the contribution of the public in a gesture of solidarity, and the takings was entirely destined to UNICEF foundation.

This completed the Taikai, and then kenshis went to have lunch and the most courageous come back in the evening to take a two hours class, focused in embus, and in where different senseis explained several techniques to kenshis, divided by levels.

It was, in short, another kenshis meeting which was developed in a very friendly atmosphere and in where the only and truly winner was the Shorinji Kempo.

We honestly appreciate the massive kenshi attendance and their effort, because we all know that behind a minute and half embu there were a lot of effort and hours of training.
