Eikenkai June 2012

25 people turned up on a humid Sunday morning at Sumiyoshi Budokan, next door to Sumiyoshi Taisha in central Osaka. Multiple nationalities were in attendance as usual plus 3 visitors from America. We were also visited by the Financial Times who were after some footage for their website!!

After keiko we went to the local okonomiyaki shop and ate, drank, and chatted for a few hours.

The next keikokai is 29th July at the same time and place. If you are in Osaka, feel free to come along!

    Dear Mr McCall,

    My name is KK Leong, I practice Kendo in Penang, Malaysia. I found your articles very interesting, However, there were no mandarin version. Since i am a Chinese and i wish to disseminate the articles among us, would you be kind enough to allow me to translate them into mandarin? If yes, i will deliver my translation to you for approval before i put them up on to our web page: http://www.eastsportsacademy.com. If you do not agree the translation, can i link Eikenkai or Kenshi247 to our web site?

    Thank you.

    Truly yours,

    KK Leong
    Secretary,
    Penang Kendo Association

    Dear KK Leong,

    You should contact the particular author of the article to ask for permission translation, but basically it is ok. I’d advise against translating something from English to Mandarin that has already been translated into English from Japanese though. Please check the about page on kenshi247.net to see our rules.

    As for linking – of course you can !!

    Cheers,
    - George
