AKR kendo players selected for the SportAccord Combat Games.
Congratulations to Brett Smith, and Kate Sylvester!
Brett and Kate were selected by the AKR Kendo Board to represent Australia at the first SportAccord Combat Games, to be held in Beijing from 28 August to 4 September 2010. Both Brett and Kate are previous winners of Australian Kendo Championships and team members for the World Kendo Championships.
AKR was allocated just one position each for the Womens and Mens competition, this made the selection difficult, from a very talented short-list of suitable players.
We wish Brett and Kate well for their preparation for the event.
