City Shorinji Kempo

Calling all Kenshi - don't forget your toothbrush. Or dogi.

In addition to the Japan trip in October, there are now 3 international seminars confirmed for subsequent weekends in June. Details below, and also on the IKA website ​(www.internationalkempo.org)​​

8-9 June: Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic
Teaching from Mizuno sensei and ​​​Japanese guest instructor (7th dan)
Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad) is about 2hrs from Prague by car/bus.

15-16 June: Neuchâtel, Switzerland
Teaching from Mizuno sensei and ​​Japanese guest instructor
Neuchâtel is about 1.5-2hrs from Geneva airport by train.
​We are expecting a delegation from Porkemi​, the Indonesian group that have split from Perkemi/WSKO and joined IKA​, ​to come to ​​Neuchâtel.
​​Neuchâtel also often has music festivals going on and hotels can book up quickly. It looks like the seminar this year coincides with a big one, Festi’neuch, so if anyone plans to go, my only tip is reserve a hotel early. Hôtel Des Arts is one of the nicer and relatively affordable (for Switzerland!) ones I’ve stayed at before.

21-23 June: Beasain, Spain
Black belts only. Teaching from Maeda sensei
GUSKE are hosting a special seminar with Maeda sensei, the appo / teiho specialist who attended Cyprus a couple of years ago. It is open to black belts only.
Beasain is about 1hr drive from Bilbao airport.
