What a weekend! The 3rd Canadian Jukendo & Tankendo Seminar was a huge success. 🇨🇦🥋

A huge thank you to our amazing senseis Steve Kelsey, Baptiste Tavernier and Sato-sensei who travelled from Japan and the UK to share their knowledge and passion with us.

We had participants from across the country — Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Québec City — and for the first time, from the U.S. Thank you to our dojo leaders Jason Lujan, Miki Chart and Martin Dauphinais, and their dojos Toronto Jukento Tankendo Club and azumaryugakai for the continued support.

Congratulations to everyone who passed their ikkyu and shodan in both Jukendo and Tankendo! You earned it — and the journey continues from here.

Special shoutout to our incredible Montréal Jukendo Tankendo club members — your hard work over the past 8 months has truly paid off. So proud of you all!

Big thanks to Concordia Naginata Club, Isshin Kendo Club, Montreal Kendo Club, and Kippon Kendo Club for joining us for an action-packed ishujiai!

Shoutout to @mtlmike514 and @tracytoye for capturing all the best moments as our dedicated photographers and videographer all weekend — we’re so lucky to have your talent behind the lens!

And thank you to Centre Greene for welcoming us so warmly all weekend — we’re so grateful for the space.

Already excited for next year!
