Two local students from the La Cañada Kumdo Academy recently placed first in the boys’ junior division of the National Kendo Championship in San Jose.
Benjamin and Jonathan Ahn, currently attending St. Francis and graduates of Palm Crest Elementary, won the prestigious tournament hosted by the All United Kendo Federation. The competition is held every three years and comparable to the National Olympic of Kendo.
The two athletes train under the guidance of Byung Chan Ahn, who is the headmaster of La Cañada Kumdo Academy and President of Youth Volunteers Organization.
