On Tuesday, January 10 at 6:00 p.m., the Hokuryu Kendama Club hosted the "Children vs. Adults Nigatte Battle" at the Kendo Room (2F) of the Hokuryu Rural Environment Improvement Center. Ten children and four adults participated in the event and challenged their weak skills in a serious, energetic and fun way!
Children vs. adults - Battle of the Nigats

This event is a one-on-one competition between children and adults!
They will challenge their weakest technique and battle to see who can clear it first.
The children's group and the adults' group are divided into two groups, each playing one person against the other! The order is decided by drawing lots.

In the first match, the children's group won handily, 7:3!
Gradually, the adult group showed their strength and the competition continued.
In the second match, the adult group won 6:4!
Experience battles that you don't usually get to experience, such as one-on-one battles between children and adults (parent-child battles)!
The joy is palpable when a child is able to beat an adult, and the children's smiles burst out!
The entire hall is filled with cheers of joy and smiles!

We planned this competition because we wanted children to experience the joy and pleasure of success, and for adults to have time to interact with the children. The joy and fun of "I did it! is the key to progress! said Representative Kishi.
