The Brussels Yaegaki Kai is an 
Summer time … Seminar time …
Summer is generally a period of sunny holiday, relaxing on the beach with a cocktail *Slurp*. Well maybe in July but August is for some of us the kickoff of a new iaido season starting with a bunch of seminars with 2 majors on our list: the ABKF Summer seminar and the NKR seminar in Eindhoven both leaded by a Japanese delegation. Of course other seminars are also organized in August but our ubiquity and wallet duplication ninja talent are not yet powerful enough to go all the place we would like to …
The first one on the august calendar was the NKR seminar. This year we had to opportunity to participate on the Wednesday lesson and follow the delegation composed of Ishido sensei, Yoshimura sensei and Sooji sensei backed up with the helpful translation of Andy Watson.

As our Dojo was on Budo holiday this month of July and that we had some free time, Yuki and I decided to follow a short Jodo introduction on a sunny Sunday morning. Jodo attracted us for some time now and this was the perfect occasion to take the plunge.
Brussels Yaegaki-Kai 2009-2010 season is coming to an end. The dojo will be on summer holiday and therefore closed during July.
A few post ago I wrote that during our last trip we made some shopping just before departure. In our shopping bag there was a series of DVD edited by Hertz-International. It has been some years now that I was looking for the Hakone taikai DVDs and I was very happy to find them at a stand next to the Butokuden.
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 …
