E.K.O. 2015 + Kendama Camp - Leeds, UK

Congrats Rob! (@Dimensions) After seeing you at BKO I knew you had a good chance of winning it!

@MisterJumpshoe congrats on the 2nd Dan!

Seems like it was a nice event, I followed some of the bambuser videos. Too bad I didn't have time yesterday. Will those videos still be up next week?

[The Void]

I'm not planning on making an EKO (comp) video, so probably.

@mreasyguy Thanks for being our sole live watcher. I did read your comments, but couldn't reply. #sockporn

Thank you, Kev, Hans and Void!

One more question: what grades did they have?

Congrats to Rob! You're conquering the world.

[Kev]

I believe Mikami-san is 5th Dan and Imada-san is an astonishing 8th Dan.

[MisterJumpshoe]

@Kev Thank you, sir!

Congratulations to everyone, especially to @jakub.zahumensky ,  @icedzed , @Jak , and @Dimensions .
It's also nice to hear that the EKO and the European champion is from Europe this time

Btw, is the group on the photo really the complete group of the EKO or where there some more people?

Well, it is really complete, but only me wasn't in the photo... I was also taking one from a different angle.. [emoji16]

Good fun, great meeting with old friends and making new ones.

It was a bit smaller than past year, but that gave it a"family" aspect that I enjoyed.

The place looked like it was in the middle of nowhere, but commuting there was actually quite easy. Thumbs up for that.

The location for the social day was great. Really beautiful park. And sunshine!

All in all a very enjoyable event. Totally worth flying in for the weekend. I hope I have time to go to the camp one of these years...

Oh, and landed a few tricks for the first time, learned a couple of new ones, landed tricks in knockout for the first time (still scored no points) failed my second Dan, got my Kendama tuned by an 8th Dan and got my Spanish champion title renewed...

Lots of things, actually.
