2025 Edinburgh Kendo Seminar

It’s on!

*** REGISTRATION IS OPEN ***

Flight tickets are booked and the venue is set. We are a go! If you are planning to come, please go ahead and register.

This year no only will Yano sensei, myself, and Ryuichi be back in Edinburgh, but – for the first time – we are delighted to take a female instructor with us: Hayashi Ryoko sensei. It has been my wish for a while now to find a woman that can join the seminar (in fact I tried to persuade her last year as well) so I am glad I finally managed to make it reality.

Ryoko is a member of her company’s kendo club – a “jitsugyodan” business club – and has known and practiced with me for a few years now. I will updated a better bio of her in the instructors page soon.

Dates: 19+20th July 2025 (seminar)
Location: Meadowbank Sports Centre, Edinburgh
Extra keiko: 18th (Friday) and 21st (Monday)
Instructors: Yano Nobuhiro + George McCall
Assistants: Hayashi Ryoko + Nagaura Ryuichi (+ Andy Fisher maybe)
Registration/cost: HERE

Past seminar info and media can be found here.

If you have any questions feel free to get in touch with me by commenting here or only any of the kenshi 24/7 social media platforms, or by contacting Edinburgh Kendo Club themselves directly. Cheers!
