6th Annual Kenshokan Iaido Koryu Seminar

All Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu practitioners are invited to this two-day seminar focused on MJER Iaido. Each of the last five seminars was a great success, so we wanted to do it all over again in order to offer iaidoka intensive training with some of the top Canadian instructors in our koryu.

Our instructors for the seminar will be Goyo Ohmi-sensei (Kyoshi, 7D) and Kim Taylor-sensei (Renshi, 7D), and Carole Galligan (Renshi, 6D).
