History:
The Nabeshima Cup tournament started in 1992 as a goodwill tournament hosted by the DFWKIK for SWKIF members San Dan and below. In 2005 the tournament was restructured into two divisions, a Mudansha division (Ik Kyu and below) and a Yudansha division (Sho Dan to San Dan), with the Nabeshima Cup awarded to the winner of the Mudansha division. In 2007 a new Youth division was added. 2011’s Nabeshima Cup taikai will be also offering Women’s division (Mudansha to San Dan for age 16+), making Nabeshima Cup a four division event: Mudansha, Yudansha, Women, and Youth. The tournament is open to members of the Southwest Kendo and Iaido Federation (SWKIF), All United States Kendo Federation (AUSKF), and/or the International Kendo Federation (IKF).
The Texas Open Kendo Taikai started in 1999 and, like the Nabeshima Cup, is now hosted every other year by the DFWKIK. The Texas Open taikai has been, and continues to be, open to practioners Yon Dan and above who are current or prospective members of the SWKIF, AUSKF, and/or the IKF.
