Homma Kancho and Ninomiya Kancho.
This year, at the 14th annual bowling tournament between Nippon Kan and Enshin Karate, Nippon Kan won. This “friendly tournament” was originally thought up by Homma Kancho as a way to celebrate the birthday of long time friend and fellow Denver martial art pioneer, Joko Ninomiya Kancho, Founder of Enshin Karate.
Unfortunately, this year’s tournament fell just two days after Homma Kancho had returned from a month long tour of Asia. Homma Kancho was quite jet-lagged from the trip and had to excuse himself from some of the festivities. This was not the reason that Nippon Kan won this year however; Homma Kancho is a pretty good bowler!
