Canadian Iaido Association 2009 Seminar

Canadian Iaido Association 16th Annual Seminar (May 22-24, 2009)

Canadian Iaido Association 2006 Seminar I recently received a note from Denny Hewgill, the President of the Canadian Iaido Association. He wanted to let us know that registration for the Canadian Iaido Association's Annual Iaido Seminar is now open.

This year's seminar takes place in Nanaimo, BC on Vancouver Island from May 22-24, 2009. The training will be at the Oliver Woods Community Centre, and the event is being hosted by my good friend and mentor, Peter Gunstone Sensei.

Kobudo Program with Bend Aiki Martial Arts

Takayama Dojo - Bend Aiki Martial Arts Training Space Bend Aiki Martial Arts (BAMA) has been welcomed us into their Takayama Dojo in order to provide martial arts instruction in Eishin-Ryu Iaido and Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu under the "Kobudo Program".

In October 2008, John Pritchard began teaching the Kobudo Program as a volunteer-based instructor for BAMA, a registered non–profit educational institution. John holds a 4th-dan in Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaido and a 1st-dan in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. Classes are designed for adults, and are taught in a very controlled, supportive and safe manner.

Weekly classes are available in Iaido, Taijutsu, or both.
