2022 Mugairyu Taikai - Yokohama
On November 6, 2022, a local taikai for the Yokohama Mugaikai was held at Isogo Sports Center. Due to Covid concerns, a full taikai was not possible. Despite this, a great week of training and a spirited taikai were held. The following pictures show highlights from the week. Join us for a future event!
