Exceptional Cancellation of the Belgian Team Kendo Championship

Dear Kendokas, dear Club Representatives,

We would like to inform you that the Belgian Team Kendo Championship,
traditionally held on the last day of the summer training camp, will be
exceptionally cancelled this year.

This decision has been made to allow all participants to fully benefit
from the teaching of Fujiwara Sensei, who will honor us with his
presence throughout the entire seminar. As you may know, Fujiwara Sensei
very rarely travels to Europe, and his visit represents a unique
opportunity for the entire Belgian (and international) kendo community.

We are confident that the depth and quality of his instruction will
bring invaluable value to this training, and we hope you will understand
the importance of this exceptional change to the program.

Thank you for your understanding and enthusiasm. We look forward to
welcoming you this summer for what promises to be an unforgettable
seminar.

With our sincerest regards,

The ABKF board
