10th Iaido Koryu seminar

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 😊
