Become a Part of Irish Iaido History
This is the 1st time in Irish Iaido history we will have a shodan level grading in ZNKR Iaido, recognized by the European Kendo Federation!
This historic event is only possible thanks to West Sensei, who has been incredibly supportive of Irish Iaido. He is both Batman and John's teacher and has supported them in all their gradings, international competitions and we are deeply honoured to have their teacher join us in our home dojo here in Dublin.
We are also deeply appreciative of our good friend and senior Martin Chambers who has been a fantastic support to Ireland in his own right, and of deep support to our sister dojo Ojika, in Nothern Ireland.
