Train hard, level up your skills and join us on Friday 17th, Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th of February at the Newpark Sports Centre for the best Jodo training of the year.
Jodo is the way of the stick, and is a comprehensive martial arts system teaching you how to fight with a 4-foot staff. This seminar is perfect for complete beginners to the martial arts, and for those more familiar with martial arts who want to learn a new art with the most common and versatile weapon available. You'll also learn the art of Japanese Swordsmanship along the way!
Ueda Sensei is an innovative and exciting teacher who always brings unusual practice methods to her classes. Over the years she has taught us:
This is the first Jodo Seminar in Ireland with a Hachidan Sensei in Jodo, and Ueda Sensei's first time in Ireland. Let's give her a great welcome!
This event is also part of Kendo na hEireann's 25th Anniversary celebrations and marks the 8-year anniversary of Jodo in Ireland!
