Greg’s Daughter’s Fundrasing Program
Sensei Greg Vahanian Support
Gregory Vahanian is one of my first black belt students who followed me from NY to Colorado and was the head instructor at CU Boulder when he went to college there. On Monday, August 24th, 2009, the doctors diagnosed his 2-year-old daughter, Isabella, with leukemia. She has begun chemotherapy treatment and will require in-hospital care for close to a year. Greg and his wife Wendy have been at Isabella’s side 24 hours a day 7 days a week each taking 12 hour shifts. Insurance will not cover everything so I wanted to post this to help raise money for Greg and Wendy in this challenging time they are having. Whether or not you are able to offer financial assistance, I would greatly appreciate your keeping Isabella, big sister, Gabriela, Wendy and Gregory in your loving prayers. If you’d like to have a visual journal and updates on Isabella, please add Gregory Vahanian as a friend in FACEBOOK. (When doing so, please “add a message” mentioning my name, Kancho Ninomiya)
Checks can be made out to:
Joko Ninomiya and sent to
4730 East Colfax Ave,
Denver, CO 80220.
Please donate your valuable assistance by January 1, 2010

Gregory Vahanian （グレッグ）はニューヨークからコロラドまで私を追いかけて来てくれた最初の黒帯の1人で、ボルダー大学在籍中は同大学内の支部で筆頭指導員を務めてくれました。2009年8月24日、グレッグの次女、Isabella（イザベラ）2歳が白血病との診断を医師より受けました。化学療法が開始され、一年近くの入院が必要とされています。グレッグと妻のWendy （ウエンディー）はそれぞれが１２時間交代でイザベラの病室に24時間体制で付き添っています。治療には保険が適用されない部分もありますので、このメッセージを通して広く皆様から募金を募り、大変困難な状況にあるグレッグ夫妻に助けの手を差し伸べたいと思います。金銭的な援助が出来る出来ないに拘わらず、皆様がイザベラ、姉のGabriela（ガブリエラ）、ウエンディー、そしてグレッグの幸福を私と共に祈ってくれることを願ってやみません。もしイザベラの写真や回復の状況を見たいと思われる場合は、FacebookでGregory Vahanianを友達に追加されることをお勧めします。（その際はKancho Ninomiyaの名前をメッセージに加えて下さい）

Subject: Seo Sensei’s (Kendo 8 Dan) visit
Date: December 10
Time: 7:00 – 9:00 PM

| From Small |
Seo Sensei (Executive Vice President of Korean Kumdo Federation for Social Members
) will be visiting our Dojo on December 10. We will have an open practice starting at 7PM. Thanks to Kim sensei, we were able to arrange Seo Sensei’s visit to our Dojo, during his busy schedule here in the USA.
I have known Seo Sensei from a long time ago, and he took very good care of me when I went to Korea for Kendo training back in 2001. He was also one of the referees who refereed my match at the 11WKC in 2000 (Semi Finals, Taisho match Canada x Japan). You can watch that match on Youtube. Keep your calendar open. It will be a great opportunity to practice with a high ranking sensei from Korea.
徐（セオ）先生（韓国社会人剣道連盟副会長）が１２月１０日、武徳殿にお越しいただくことが決定しました。当日、３部の時間をオープン稽古にして、ご指導をいただく予定です。徐（セオ）先生とは２０００年の世界大会で私の試合の審判をしていただいたことをきっかけに、お世話になっております。その後、韓国に剣道の練習に行った時にもお世話になり、今回は金先生経由で、武徳殿道場での稽古時間を割いていただきました。韓国の高段位の先生に稽古をお願いできる機会なので、是非参加ください。

2009 Fall SCKO Dan/Kyu Exam Sign up Sheet
BUTOKUDEN Kendo Members:
I am trying to automate the process as much as I can, in order to minimize everyone’s work, so I would appreciate if you could fill out this form (I apologize for the double entry for people that have already sent me the information, but please re-enter.) It will automatically update my database. This promotion exam is for people eligible to apply for 6 Kyu and up, up to 4 Dan. Our Dojo minimum requirement is to have been practicing Kendo with Bogu for the last 3 months. The age requirements and Kata requirements are also listed in this link.
For people trying for 1 Kyu and up, I encourage you to start mastering the Kendo Kata from now. There is no point of just doing the Kata for exam purpose only. Kata incorporates all the basic movements in Kendo, and by mastering the Kendo Kata, your Kendo techniques will improve. If you have any questions about the Kata, please ask the Senseis and Senpais at the Dojo.
