The USNF held its Summer Naginata
Camp at Sonoma State University in Sonoma California. July 3 to 9,
2006
This camp was two-fold in that it was the
normal Naginata camp and at the same time the try-outs for the USA
Team for the 4th World Naginata Championship in Brussels, Belgium in
2007. There was some concern at the time that choosing a team
over a year in advance would cause a problem if a team member had to
drop out for whatever reason. This proved to be a real
concern. The camp itself was sparsely attended and the USNF
lost money on the guarantee of at least 40. Even the NoCal
members were not all there for the camp.
There has not been a
USNF Naginata Camp since this one. The World Championship took
all the efforts of the USNF in 2007. In 2008, holding an
election for new officers seems to have a similar
effect.
This match represented the shift of momentum in
Naginata east ward. This was a quarter final between Takami Turner, Godan, from RMNF and Katie
Roche, Shodan, from GNYNF.

Takami Tanner at the 2006 national campionship click
