Butokukan vous souhaite Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année 🥳
The last day of the Winter Seminar passed very quickly with trainings in the morning and then the kendo dan examinations.
It was great to have Hirakawa Sensei back in Brussels and to practise with him. Arigato gozaimasu Sensei!
Manuel passed 2nd dan kendo today.
Congratulations to Manuel and all others who passed their grades 
What a great iaido weekend 🤩 We celebrated the 10th Iaido Koryu seminar with over 40 participants from Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Lithuania and Israel.
The 7th dan teachers, Emilio Gomez, Leo Amoroso and Antonio Gutierrez, were leading the seminar. Each teacher taught one part of the seminar bringing their own experience and knowledge to the participants.
Several people from Butokukan took part in the seminar. Surely a great experience again.
Thank you for joining this edition of the Koryu seminar 😊
The Belgian Kyu Championships took place yesterday. Butokukan won medals and also got two new Shodans. The event was a great experience for everyone: competitors, referees and kakari-in’s.

What a great weekend The 7th BUTOKUKAN kendo seminar was held this weekend in Butgenbach.
Lots of kendo trainings, shiais, exams, speeches, discussions, shinai repair, all good things that a kendo seminar should be about 
Many thanks for the teachers, everyone present and for the organisers
