Membership in the Brussels Yaegaki Kai dojo is open to anyone interested in learning Iaido and all skill levels are welcome. View our training hours page.

For all of us budō addicts we wish you a lot of intensive Renshu followed by relaxing dai ni dojo “second dojo”, make a lot of new friends through practice and have fun in your day to day life.

Great results for the Belgian Team at the 19th European Iaido Championships 2012 in Stevenage !!!
A rewarding event including one day seminar and two days of competition with more than 180 participants. Everybody in the team was very happy to meet again all European Iaido friends under a northern (even for a few minutes “snowy”) climate. Japanese delegation was this year composed of Kusama sensei, Aoki sensei and Kamikokuryo sensei all 8th dan Hanshi.
Intense individual and team competition ended with great results: 2x Gold, 3x Bronze medals and the Silver medals for the Team competition.
