Kendo & Iaido Dojo in Brussels
2023 trainings 
It was another year of friendship, courage, hard work, good times, learnings,… kendo & iaido life in a nut cell 
Last night was the last training with a bit of kendo no kata and lots of jigeiko, followed by drinks & cakes at the usual place 
It’s a good moment to remember the Winter Seminar 2023 edition 
Besides all the trainings (including Ito sensei in Butokukan) and kendo competition, we had great success in both kendo and iaido examinations:
4th dan kendo: Mateusz
2nd dan kendo: Pranas, Mathieu
1st dan kendo: Rebecca
2nd dan iaido: Saskia
1st dan iaido: Claude
Congrats to all 
..another 
on the way!
Throw back the seminar with Markus Frey sensei the last weekend organized by Shobukai Kendo in Luxembourg!
There were a lot of exercises and fun sword-crossing time 
with friends from many dojos.
The seminar provided a rich and well-though program, which is useful for our participants to improve and continue their kendo path Thank you very much senseis and friends!
The 11th Iaido Koryu Seminar with Kobayashi sensei and Ito sensei took place last weekend in Brussels. It was truly amazing to see Kobayashi sensei and Ito sensei again, the first time after the covid times. Very memorable teaching and training; with overflowing swords and the opponents just in front
There were participants from Spain, France, Italy, Israel, Lithuania and of course Belgium. You really made it successful weekend.
To put it very simply: fantastic seminar. Thank you senseis 
Thank you all participants
See you again 2024
Fridays are the best! Especially last night thanks to all visitors: Antonio Gutierrez, Fabrice Renneson with Charleroi Kendo Club and Makoto Grosfils.
