GIVEAWAY! Kenshindo custom bogu maker has generously donated 100 kendo masks to CKF members. We will be conducting draws by dojo throughout the upcoming sem...inar. Thank you Hyo-sung Kim Sensei for this very generous donation. We know that these masks will help to protect our members as they return to practice in the days and months to come. Rules: Every CKF member attending the seminar will have their affiliated dojo entered into the draw (ie. If you have 5 attendees from your dojo, your dojo will have 5 ballots put into the draw). The winning dojo will receive a count of masks based on the number of 2020 CKF members registered in our database (ie. If you have 10 paid members in the database for 2020, you win 10 masks). A dojo can only win once. We will contact all winning dojo representatives and mail the masks to you. Encourage more of your dojo members to register for the event to increase your chances!
