I got this mail this morning sent to NZKF [info(at)kendo.org.nz].
Subject: your account has been blocked

I think that it might also send to some of you.

Please be careful and don't follow the re-activate link.
It will get your login information and then steal your money.

Phone or vist your bank branch is always the best solution! :)

Dear Mr Tsai,


Thank you for your email.

A spam email is circulating telling Westpac customers to follow a link and enter their password details. That e-mail was NOT sent by Westpac and is an attempt to capture the IDs and Passwords of the customers that responded.

As with most spam e-mails, this has been randomly sent and has therefore been received by many non-Westpac customers.

We have stepped up our normal level of security and suspicious transaction monitoring. Steps are currently being taken to close this illegal site down.

The best protection from this type of fraud is to never follow an e-mail link to a site where you will need to disclose secure information such as your password or ID. Always type the URL or web address yourself.

As you have received the e-mail please ignore it and if you are a Westpac customer and have clicked on the link or acted on the e-mail and disclosed your details please immediately change your password and call us on 0800 400 600.

All the best.

How do you practice seme?

Kobayashi Hideo Sensei – How to Seme (w/English CC)  小林英雄 先生 - 攻め方 How do you practice S eme ?   Very early on, I have heard of the “Three Opportunities to Strike”: strike when your opponent’s technique is about to start, strike when your opponent’s technique ends, and when the opponent is mentally and physically depleted. Since then, this line of thinking has given me a direction in how to train. In 2017, Utsunomiya sensei, 7-dan kyoshi, came to visit us and taught me the concept of “okori”. That reminds me of the conversation that happened 8 years before that in 2009 with Morioka sensei, also 7-dan kyoshi, who asked me: “What is the timing or reason of your strike?” I think most people are familiar with the idea that you should “ seme then strike ”. However, when do you strike after seme has been a source of struggle for most kenyu. That’s why when I saw the video from Kobayashi Hanshi where you seme for the purposes of creating “okori” , I felt this added a whole other d

Happy Rabbit Year 2023

We wish everyone have a Happy Rabbit Year Saturday 21 January 2023 Keiko Reflection - Janet As lunar new year of the rabbit arrives so is our Dojo welcoming new beginners to get a taste of what kendo is like. While the beginners learned brand new ideas, the senpais were reminded of the basic purpose of Kendo, which is self discipline, development & improvement of our body, mind, & spirit. Constantly striving for a more perfect & beautiful cut rather than being just a form of self defence or stick fighting. Ashi-sabaki or footwork ( Kouda sensei demonstration ) is very important in Kendo particularly Suriashi or sliding steps as it not only look more graceful & elegant, but also would reduce noise when moving on wooden floors & reduce likely injury from stepping onto hidden weapons or obstacles on the floor in medieval Japan. We were also reminded of the basic sequence of engagement during a kendo duel: 1. Holding good Kamae (on guard position, Kouda sensei demonst

Having good Senpai is a wonderful thing in Kendo.

13/03/2016 Yesterday's training was really hard! I thought everyone there make effort to do kendo without sensei (going to Auckland for the  Yamagami sensei's seminar ) . There were quite a few problems I met from the training, for example I was scared when Claire senpai and Kevin senpai was about to hit me, and let kensen move away from centre. It may take time for me to modify my psychology. And I should improve my posture in the following training. Thanks to Nicole senpai for telling me a lot about how to maintain boku. I felt her passion in Kendo is exactly the same when we were training together and chatting after class.
