Before the competition comes the commitment. The USA Kempo Team is preparing for the 2026 Pan-American Kempo Championships in Neuquén, Argentina, this November. Musashi Swords is proud to support the team and invite our community to follow its next international chapter.
A team preparing across disciplines
In its announcement to Musashi, the team described plans for male and female competitors to participate in traditional forms and weapons divisions, as well as full-contact kickboxing, MMA, and submission grappling categories.
Each division has its own demands. Our campaign will recognize the individuals behind those entries: the preparation they bring, the goals they are working toward, and the experience of representing the United States.
Two November journeys, different participants
The Argentina championships follow a separate Iaido and Kenjutsu exposition in Japan involving members of U.S. Tenshinsho Jigenryu Iaido schools. Different members will participate in each event.
Keeping the two stories distinct lets us celebrate both: the sharing of traditional arts in Japan and the competitive journey in Argentina.
