24.01.2022 Shared for interest. :) If your opponent is wearing armour, it will change the target location of your cuts in order to be able to defeat them.

24.01.2022 Shared for interest. I personally feel that this is a very valid point.

24.01.2022 Due to other commitments on the part of just about everyone, there will be no Iaido class at Kohokai tomorrow 12 September. Training will resume as normal on Wednesday night with Jodo.

19.01.2022 Very sad news. I have had a number of very enjoyable training sessions, seminars and shinsa at Willow Pond.

19.01.2022 Well, this would be one way of doing it...

17.01.2022 Training has finished for the year at Kohokai. Training will resume in the second week of January, 2021. (Exact date TBA, probably the Wednesday, as we all get bored without training and will want to come back...)

16.01.2022 Shared for interest - Kyudoka in South Africa.

16.01.2022 Due to the Covid-19 situation, training at Kohokai is suspended for the moment.

15.01.2022 Shared for interest - a 6th Dan's musings on appearance in Iaido.

15.01.2022 Training in Iaido will resume at Kohokai, at the Pine Mountain Country Hall, at 8.00 AM on June 13 2020. This is obviously due to review if there are any changes to the "Stage 2" COVID-19 Lockdown dates. It is going to be so good to be back...

15.01.2022 A fantastic Iaido embu by Yaguchi Emiko Sensei (Iaido Renshi 6 dan at the time of filming) at the 2014 Australian Iaido and Jodo Championships in Brisbane.

14.01.2022 A recent podcast featuring Patrik Demuynck-Sensei, who has visited Australia to run a brilliant seminar on Tamiya-Ryu. Great instructor, and a lovely gentleman.

14.01.2022 Very sad news indeed. 29th Iaido and 20th Australian Seminar and Championships 2020 CANCELLED In light of the most recent announcement by the Prime Minister of Australia regarding mandatory quarantine for international travellers to Australia, and the increasing number of infections of Covid-19 within our national borders, the Australian Iaido Jodo Seminar and Championships (AIJSC) 2020 scheduled for late May have been cancelled. As with the previous announcement regarding t...he cancellation of the 45th Australian Kendo Championships, the Australian Kendo Renmei’s (AKR) considerations are the same, the health and safety of its members and society at large. Any registration and/or grading monies paid to the AKR by individuals will be fully refunded. Members will be informed of the mechanics and timeline which will be worked out between the AKR and the relevant boards. It is envisaged that the next AIJSC will be held next year again in Queensland in 2021. This is under discussion at present and may change. Members will be informed once a decision is made. The AKR apologises for any inconvenience caused by this decision, but it has been taken with due consideration of the health and safety of its members, their families, friends and close associates. Stay safe. Regards, Stylianos (Stilts) Polichroniadis President Australian Kendo Renmei Inc. Post: 11 Princess Street Coburg North, VIC 3058 Email: [email protected] Web: www.kendoaustralia.asn.au

12.01.2022 Good afternoon all. There will be no Iaido training this Saturday the 31st October, as our hall will be in use as a voting venue. Training will resume on the following Wednesday night.

11.01.2022 Equally applicable to Martial Arts, if not more so...

11.01.2022 Interesting read! :)

09.01.2022 Shared for some light historical reading!

09.01.2022 And that's it for another year! Training has ceased at Kohokai for the Christmas break, and will resume on the 8th of January 2020. The year finished on a high with the QKR State Seminar being held at Sleeman Sports Complex, Chandler. ... Rob Doncaster was graded to 3rd Dan in Zen Ken Ren Iaido, and both Rob and James Archer also graded to 1st Kyu in Jodo. To all who follow this page, have a safe Christmas, especially if you are travelling, and all the best for training in 2020.

08.01.2022 Shared for interest. Whilst we don't practice Kendo at Kohokai, we regularly meet and talk with Kendo-ka at QKR and AKR seminars, and some members have trained in Kendo in the past.

08.01.2022 Web site for the next Australian Kendo Renmei - Iaido and Jodo National Seminar and Championships. As more details become available, this site will be updated.

08.01.2022 Very, very wise words.

07.01.2022 Shared for interest, (and for Rob to compare to his suit of armour :).) Courtesy of Iron Mountain Armory.

07.01.2022 Shared for interest. A good read, especially with the explanation of who probably really used the Naginata. Hint - the author disagrees with the commonly-espoused opinion that it was solely a Samurai women's weapon...

06.01.2022 Shared for interest.

05.01.2022 Shared for interest. Beautiful outfits and tradition.

05.01.2022 An upcoming event in Perth that might be of interest to anyone over that way!!!

05.01.2022 A very interesting watch with a true gentleman. (Not just saying that...have trained with Peter-sensei in Iaido and he's a great bloke.)

05.01.2022 It is with great sadness that I forward on the following message from the President, QKR. I had the pleasure of training with Ruth, and she was truly lovely. RIP, Sensei. "Hi all , This morning I received the sad news of the passing of Sensei Ruth Franklin .... For many years, Ruth taught in Sydney and has been a stalwart member of the NSW iaido community for years. She was always one for the first to volunteer and gave freely of her time to a great number of people. To my knowledge she never missed a IJSC national seminar and was the driving force behind 2012 Sydney event. I have had the privilege to visited Ruth's Club in Sydney several times and Ruth and her club members always made me feel like part of her family. On behalf of all those who knew her, I would like express our condolences to her family and friends on the loss of a unique and kind person in Ruth Franklin. Regards, Tom Johnson"

04.01.2022 Just a short article, but an interesting read on the history and main types of Japanese armor. Shared for interest. https://weblog.tozando.com/japanese-samurai-armor-101/

04.01.2022 Shared for interest. Not a variant of the Kusarigama that I've commonly seen used, with a handguard closer to the blade, and being held reversed.

04.01.2022 An interesting point...

04.01.2022 Shared for interest. Personally, I am now definitely training for "mature" technique...no flashy stuff for me anymore (despite what Sensei chides me about sometimes... )

04.01.2022 Shared for interest! Quite ingenious, but bet it freaked the oxen out!

04.01.2022 Shared for historical interest.

04.01.2022 Shared for the interest of those of us who practice Kyudo - looks like a very interesting essay. Link is at the bottom.

03.01.2022 Shared for interest - a video of Yabusame.

03.01.2022 Shared for interest! Sword appraisal is a field of knowledge that you can (and many do) spend a lifetime studying...

03.01.2022 Shared for interest - quite a good read as to why we do some of the things we do when handling blades.

03.01.2022 Training has successfully resumed at Kohokai. I'm finding out how amazingly easy "social distancing" is when you have a Katana, Jo, or Bokken in your hands...

02.01.2022 Shared for those of us who have an interest in Japanese blades.

02.01.2022 Shared for interest! (I must confess, I thought at first, "This guy's keen...his kyudo range is flooded, and he's still giving it a red hot go!")

02.01.2022 Funny - Tom-san told the class this morning words to the effect of "You might know 100 kata, but if you can't cut properly, there's no point." And then I see this...

02.01.2022 Sad news indeed. :(

02.01.2022 Well, sounds about right actually...

02.01.2022 So very true, as I have learnt the hard way many times...

01.01.2022 A tenet of Bushido
