• 33rd Classical Budo Festival

    The annual kobudo enbu taikai will be held again this year on February 7th at the Nippon Budokan main hall in Tokyo, from 1030 to 1550.

    This festival is the premier showcase for the classical arts, providing an overview of many of the main schools of the ancient arts, their techniques, systems of etiquette, and dress. Each style demonstrates a number of kata over a 10-20 minute span, including archery and musketry.

    Kendo World has a limited number of complimentary tickets and we’ll be happy to pass them on a first-come-first-serve basis. Simply send a mail with your full name and we will send you the details.

    A copy of the official announcement and poster will be posted in the next couple of days..

    We highly recommend this prestigious affair to everyone interested in budo culture.
