防府天満宮で開催された「防長海軍忠魂碑慰霊奉納少年剣道大会」に参加しました⛩️
今回は、初めてご招待いただいた大会ということもあり、団員たちもいつも以上に気持ちを高めて大会に臨みました✨
会場は、天満宮の春風楼という厳かな雰囲気の中で行われ、子どもたちも少しドキドキした様子でしたが、それぞれ気持ちを引き締めて試合に向かっていました😊
今回は小学生13名で参加しました。
勝った子も、惜しくも敗れた子も、一人ひとりが最後まで一生懸命頑張る姿を見せてくれました🔥
緊張の中でも思い切って前に出る姿や、仲間の試合を一生懸命応援する姿に、日頃の稽古の積み重ねと成長を感じることができました👏
うれしい結果になった子もいれば、悔しさの残る試合となった子もいたと思いますが、この経験はそれぞれにとって大きな学びになったことと思います。
今回の大会で得た経験を、これからの稽古や次の試合につなげていきたいと思います🌸
このような貴重な大会にご招待いただき、ありがとうございました。
大会関係者の皆さま、そして対戦してくださった皆さまにも、心より感謝申し上げます✨

【We Participated in the Bocho Navy Memorial Dedication Youth Kendo Tournament ⚔️】
We participated in the Bocho Navy Memorial Dedication Youth Kendo Tournament held at Hofu Tenmangu Shrine ⛩️
As this was the first time we had been invited to this tournament, all of our members approached the day with great excitement and determination ✨
The matches were held in the solemn atmosphere of Shunfuro Hall at Tenmangu Shrine, and although the children seemed a little nervous, they faced each match with focus and sincerity 😊
This time, 13 elementary school students took part in the tournament.
Whether they won or lost, every one of them gave their very best until the end 🔥
It was wonderful to see them step forward bravely under pressure and cheer wholeheartedly for their teammates, showing how much they have grown through daily practice 👏
Some children were happy with their results, while others were left with disappointment, but we believe this tournament became a valuable learning experience for each of them.
We hope to carry this experience forward into future practices and upcoming matches 🌸
We are sincerely grateful to have been invited to such a meaningful tournament.
Thank you very much to all the tournament officials and to everyone we competed against ✨
