The Hael welcomes a new Thrown Weapons Champion!

On Monday July 17th Her Excellency and I attended the last of our martial champion tournaments with the purpose of determining a new Hael Thrown Weapons Champion. Our current Champion THL Eleanore Godwin ran a challenging course tasking each participant to throw axe, knife,and spear at a series of unique targets. We had a total of eight throwers with four competing for the position of Champion. With all weapons thrown it was Lord Akayuma Yatarou Kage’o who won out above all and accepted the position of Hael thrown weapons champion. This is not the first time Lord Akayuma has served as thrown weapons champion so we have no doubt he will do a great job. We are already proud of him!

Thank you to THL Eleanore Godwin for her service as our thrown weapons champion (and as current A&S champion) and for running a fun tournament.

We would also like to thank Master Augusto Giuseppe da San Donato for his inspiration during this tournament. Master Giuseppe was facing some serious surgery that would have eliminated him from participating in the tourney, but took time out of his schedule to come and throw the week before so he could participate. Additionally, even though he did not need to, he came out the week after his surgery to watch the other champions throw and to cheer them on. Vivat!
