International Budo Renmei

09/06/2026

Today, IBR students from Michigan, Florida, Colorado, and Georgia visited the Japanese Sword Museum and Tokyo Budokan. It was a great day of sightseeing, learning, and sharing the experience together. Tomorrow, we turn our attention to training. We’re looking forward to Aikido tomorrow night!

The 2026 Summer Budofest was a great success. The weekend was filled with strong training, shared knowledge, and the kind of fellowship that reminds us why these events are so important.

Thank you to everyone who traveled, taught, trained, and helped make the weekend possible. Each person brought something valuable to the floor, and together we created an experience that went far beyond technique.

Budofest continues to represent what the International Budo Renmei is all about: learning from one another, strengthening our connections, and moving forward together. I’m grateful to everyone who was part of it and look forward to building on what we accomplished.

We will post more photos soon.

Congratulations to Luke Pape on his promotion to Shodan in Aikido! Earning a black belt is not the end of the journey; it is the recognition of a solid foundation built through dedication, perseverance, and countless hours of training. This achievement reflects Luke’s commitment and willingness to continue learning and growing as a martial artist. We are proud of your accomplishment and look forward to seeing where the next stage of your martial arts journey takes you. Congratulations, Luke, on this well-earned milestone!
