Embu gasshuku in Skövde

On the weekend of 28-29/4 our annual embu gasshuku was held, this time in Skövde. About 40 kenshi gathered during Saturday morning in Arena Skövde for a weekend full of embu competitions and training camp. The competitions were held during Saturday morning and even though the participation rate was a little low, the competitions were very successful with five participating yudansha teams and three kyukenshi teams.
