Dear Fellow Kendoka,
We are pleased to announce that our summer camp, with over thirty years of tradition, will be held at a brand-new location this year — right by the scenic banks of the Danube! With this change, we aim to make the event more appealing not only for kendoka, but also for their families, who can enjoy a few relaxing and meaningful summer days with leisure and nature nearby.
The professional program of the camp will be led by two highly respected masters invited from Japan, offering an inspiring and high-level training opportunity for all participants.
The 32nd Hungary Kendo Camp will provide the right environment for everyone — whether you’re a beginner, an advanced practitioner, a youth, or a senior. We warmly welcome you to join us for a colorful, motivating, and memorable week of kendo and community!
Head teacher:
Akira Ijima Hanshi 8.dan
