After a long break due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the European Kendo
Federation was again in capacity to organise for Kendo and Iaido the
high-level grade examinations.
For Kendo, the examinations gathered 86 candidates for 6th dan and 39
candidates for 7th dan on the next day of the EKC in Frankfurt. Our
federation was happy to see the results for its members by welcoming
three successful candidates:
– Koenraad FRANCOIS (Seishinkan) – 6th dan
– Simone FORESI (Yu-Hi) – 6th dan
– Kensaku MAEMOTO (Wakakoma Kenshikai) – 6th dan
And for Iaido, only two weeks later in Budapest, a high-level seminar
followed by examinations gathered 30 candidates for 6th dan and 15
candidates for 7th dan examination. Here as well our federation may
welcome four successful candidates:
– Luc DEFRAEYE (Koomyoo Kai) – 7th dan
– Guy LONCELLE (Butokukan) – 6th dan
– Liviu VLAD (Agehacho) – 6th dan
– Nicolas VAES (Tsuru Kai) – 6th dan
Congratulations to all of you for this wonderful achievement!
