These sessions are open to all practitioners, regardless of level, with friendship and camaraderie being the guiding principles of this event.

The practice times and durations have been chosen to allow all participants to practice fully while also giving the delegation time to visit the area.

A group will be dedicated to Nito practice (two-sword Kendo), as KOGO sensei is an accomplished teacher of this discipline. This group is open to everyone, regardless of level.

The content of these three days of practice has been organized to maximize practice with the teachers, through both kihon and ji-geiko.
