Sweden’s longest running Kendo competition. Since 1978!
Individual shiai
The individual senior classes are separated by grade, but… the medalists of each open class move up into the next. So this is a great opportunity to take on everyone.
Juniors are split up in two age groups 8-11 and 12-15.
Team Shiai
The 3-man team shiai of SKO is a Kachinuki (勝ち抜き戦) – the winner stays on. If you want to show the world what you are made of, this is the time.
Incomplete teams will be matched with team-less fighters on site.
