The Baylor Kendo Club took home first place at the Houston Kendo Kyokai’s 10th Anniversary Taikai on Oct. 26. After seven rounds of competition as one of the only college-based teams at the tournament, the Baylor Kendo Club defeated over 100 competitors from various clubs across Central Texas.

As a cultural sport, kendo may not be as well-known as others on campus. However, after receiving club sport status, the Baylor Kendo Club is reaching new heights with additional funding and opportunities.
