Kendo Seminar: The power of Less, Winning Before the StrikeSensei: Hikaru Iwabu, All Japan Student Champion
Kagawa, Japan
What can European Kendoka learn from a small, remote dojo in Japan that consistently produces strong Kendō despite limited resources?
Join us in Winterthur, Switzerland (just 20 minutes from Zurich) for an exclusive seminar with Hikaru Iwabu from Koryukan, one of Japan’s most respected regional Kendō dojo.
Despite operating far from Japan’s major Kendō centres and without the advantages of a large player base, Koryukan has built a reputation for consistently developing strong competitors. In this seminar, Iwabu Sensei will share the training methods and philosophy behind that success.
The focus will be on building efficient, adaptable Kendō through purposeful practice, effective seme, pressure, timing, and the ability to recognize decisive moments. Participants will gain practical insights into how strong Kendō can be developed regardless of circumstance, and how limitations can become strengths.
