We are pleased to announce that our summer camp, with more than thirty years of tradition, will once again be held in a beautiful location near the scenic banks of the Danube.
We warmly welcome young and senior kendoka, as well as their families, who can enjoy a few relaxing and meaningful summer days with leisure opportunities and nature nearby.
The professional program of the camp will be led by two highly respected teachers invited from Japan. The camp will focus on children’s development, as well as adult practice and shiai/shinpan training.
The 33rd Hungary Kendo Camp will provide an excellent environment for everyone — whether you are a beginner, an advanced practitioner, a young kendoka, or a senior. We warmly invite you to join us for a colorful, motivating, and memorable week of kendo and community.
19:00-.... A self-organized welcome party is planned — a fireplace and firewood will be available for use.
