Hi everyone, it's been a while since I posted here. So let me begin by wishing you all a very Happy New Year 2026. I thought I'd begin again by filling you in on the highlights of 2025.

For us one big event was our trip to Emden and taking part in the Osaka Cup. 

We had a brilliant experience with a full programme for the day.

Firstly we had a seminar for 2hrs with 4 different instructors teaching Bo, Sport Kenjutsu, Kumite and Kata. This was followed by an exibition of cutting with Live Katana.

We took part in a Ireland v Germany challenge and finally the open Osaka Cup in kata and kumite

A brilliant adventure and well done to our representatives and their supporters.
