Now that the coronavirus pandemic has subsided somewhat, I am thrilledthat the 8th World Naginata Championship, Goodwill Tournament, INF
Board of Directors Meeting, and General Assembly will be held here in
Boulder, Colorado, USA. This is a really wonderful turn of events thatmakes me truly happy. I wish to share my joy with all of you.
It has been twenty years since I became INF President at the 3rd WorldNaginata Championship in San Jose, California in 2003. At that time, I had
no knowledge of Naginata. However, thanks to the support of the many
people involved in this federation, we have managed to spend our time
well and accomplish much good.
I hope that the events here in Boulder will be fulfilling and that everyone
who participates in them will be able to share in the spirit of Naginata. I
want to thank the United States Naginata Federation for their efforts inorganizing this event.
Thank you all.

On behalf of the United States Naginata Federation, I welcome you to the
8th World Naginata Championships. USNF is proud to host this wonderful
event at the beautiful University of Colorado Boulder campus.
The USNF last hosted the WNC in 2003 in San Jose, California. In the past
21 years, the International Naginata Federation and the global naginata
community has grown immensely. There are now 16 member countries in
the INF, with over 150 participants in this summer’s events. We are eager
to see so many people from so many places around the world cometogether to train and are humbled to provide you all with this opportunityand space.
Thank you to the tireless and dedicated teams of people who made thisevent possible.
Thank you to those who traveled from near and far to be here this week
and to those who are here and have been here to support each of us in
our journey. Your efforts and contributions to the naginata community
are the backbone of our training: through Naginata, we truly develop
ourselves, our characters, our physical strengths, and our sense of identityand belonging.
Thank you for being here.

Mrs. Kumiko Hashimoto
President, International Naginata Federation

Train hard!

Warm regards,

Kei Tsukamaki (she/her)President, United States Naginata Federation

Welcome to the United States!
Today we stand together again after a five year absence from international
Naginata competitions. I want to welcome everyone who has traveled so
far and waited so long for this event to occur.
Interest in Naginata has fairly exploded in Latin America since the last WorldNaginata Championship in 2019. Despite COVID lock downs and the lack of
in-person events, small groups of dedicated practitioners in Chile, Mexico,
Argentina, and Uruguay began Naginata dojo and grew their membership.
Thanks to the tireless work of Morita Yasue Sensei, Tomomi Hasegawa, Tiemi
Fukamizu and the Associaçãu de Naginata do Brasil, those efforts haveborne fruit. Competitors from Chile and Mexico will join us for the first timein the Friendship Tournament on Sunday and today the recently formed
Asociación Chilena de Naginata applied for INF membership. It is truly an
exciting time in the Pan American Zone.
We welcome all the competitors and urge them to do their best and makenew memories here in Boulder, Colorado.
Ganbatte!

Welcome to Colorado!
On behalf of the Rocky Mountain Naginata Federation it is my pleasure
to welcome the competitors and officials of the International Naginata
Federation to the heart of the Rocky Mountains and to my beautiful home
state for the 8th World Naginata Championship.
I am looking forward to greeting many old friends who I have not seen
in several years and to making new friends as well.
We are so proud to be the hosts of this event and are eager to see somany people from all over the world come together to practice and learn
from each other. I hope that you enjoy the University of Colorado which is
the university that I attended. I sincerely hope that you will have an
opportunity to enjoy at least the mountain views from campus. Wishingthat the serenity and natural beauty of this place will encourage yourpractice and expand your spirit just as Naginata has for me over the many
years that I have practiced. Having been honored to be a member of the
US team when this event was last held in the United States in San Jose in
2003, I understand what a great honor it is to be here and to represent
your countries.
Good luck to all of you who have come so far for a successful competitionand please learn a lot and improve your practice during the seminar.
Thank you to all of the instructors who have come so far to help us with
our training. I am truly grateful to have had Naginata training in my life. It
has made me a better and stronger person in all aspects of my life.

Karen Yesowich Schmucker
INF Director, Pan American Zone

Practice hard, and I wish that everyone will learn something this week
and leave Boulder, Colorado at the end of this week with a renewed
spirit for Naginata.
Sincerely,

Diana J. Payne

Greetings,

Hello!

It is my pleasure to welcome everyone to the 8th World Naginata
Championship tournament at the University of Colorado Boulder.

It is my great pleasure to welcome the United States Naginata Federation
to Colorado for the World Naginata Championship Tournament! We arehonored to have you experience our beautiful Rocky Mountains in thesummertime. I hope you get some time to enjoy the fresh mountain air.

Naginata has a long history in Japan. Currently, Naginata is one of the
popular martial arts, especially among women. In Japan, you might see
middle school students carrying their cased naginatas to and from school.
In media, some comics and movies focus on stories about Naginata, helping to demonstrate its beauty and its elegance.
Now, Naginata is no longer an art which is only practiced in Japan.
Thanks to the work of local organizations around the world, Naginata is
an international sport, with its disciplined and measured spirit being sharedby athletes around the world. As we gather together today to celebrate
the art of the Naginata, it is my belief that everyone’s appreciation of anddedication to this sport will transcend languages and borders to make thisa truly special event.
On this occasion, I would like to express my respect and gratitude to theUnited States Naginata Federation (USNF), University of Colorado, Boulder,sponsors, and volunteers who made this Naginata championship tournament
happen this year in Colorado, U.S.A.

Japan America Society of Colorado is celebrating the 35 year anniversaryof our founding. We are a Colorado nonprofit 501c3 organization dedicatedto expanding people to people relationships between Colorado and Japanby serving as a bridge to connect via business, education and cultural opportunities.

How to watch an Engi match

Yukari Hattori

In Engi matches players are divided into pairs. Two pairs compete at once, eachperforming the same set of three techniques. There are five referees in the court.
The referees vote by raising their flags for the best team. Three out of five flags isthe minimum needed to win a match.

Referees look for good form, accuracy, spirit, and harmony between the two players in the pair. In addition, pairs are judged on their uniform, grace, and precisionof movement.
Engi matches begin when the player caller (yobidachi) calls the names of eachteam and tells them to enter the court (nyujo). Pairs advance to their starting lines,
taking care to walk at the same pace as their partner. When they reach the startline they wait for the chief referee to blow a whistle. At the whistle, all players bow
to the shomen, then turn to face their partners and begin the techniques. Whenthey have finished all techniques, players again turn and bow to the shomen, thenturn and exit the court. Referees withold their judgement until the last player has
exited the court.

Shiai Matches
How to watch a shiai match
Individual matches are played for two out of threepoints over 3 minutes. There are also team competitions in which the winner is determined either by the
total number of wins per team or the total numberof points scored.
There are five designated target areas, each worth
one point in a match. There are strikes to the head(men/sokumen), the wrist (kote), the body (do), a
thrust to the throat (tsuki), and a strike at the shin(sune). Competitors must call their target in strong
voice (kiai) as they strike. Blows must be delivered
with clarity and precision, using the correct portionof the bamboo section (habu) (or oak butt-end —ebu) of the practice naginata. Referees look for good
form and strong follow-through that leaves
a player in a position to immediately continue withno letup of spirit. Unnecessary roughness or poor
sportsmanship carry penalties. If a player commits
two fouls, he or she yields a point to their opponent.
