Led by internationally respected instructors, the event offered local martial artists the rare chance to train under some of the world’s most experienced kendo masters.
According to Warren Ho, head sensei of the RKC, the seminar was more than just a training session. “It was an opportunity to experience new teaching styles, techniques, and philosophies that are not always accessible in regular dojo practice.”
He added that participants worked on refining their fundamentals, improving their footwork, timing, and discipline. “The presence of our international instructors exposed our students to different perspectives on the art of kendo, reinforcing the importance of continuous learning.”
