BIC 2010
The Belgian Iaido Championship 2010 took place this Sunday 16/05/10 10:00->17:30 at the Palais du Midi in Brussels. As Shinsain this year I was very happy with the Belgian Iaido level with good matches and thrilling finals from Mudan to Yondan. Finals competitor’s level was very close and decisions were hard to make. Finals were shortly followed by examination from ikkyu to sandan, 5th / 6th / 7th dan Embu and Awards. Congratulations to all the participants and organization staff …
