Ishido Shizufumi Sensei
Iaido Hanshi 8th dan, Jodo Kyoshi 8th dan
Dear Iaidoka and Jodoka, 24 – 28 July 2025 in Eindhoven, the Dutch Kendo Renmei will be hosting its Summer Seminar of Jodo and Iaido. We are happy that after 2 years of the pandemic we can organise our summer seminar again!
Also we are extremely honoured that this years’s seminar will be led by Ishido Shizufumi Sensei himself who will be supported by a delegation of high-ranked instructors from Japan, including his son Ishido Kotaro, and a number of European sensei.
As in the previous years each part of the seminar takes 2.5 days, including gradings from ikkyu to and including godan.
The seminar is an open event. So foreign budoka are very welcome to participate.
We hope to see many of you back in Eindhoven!
Best regards on behalf of the NKR.
