It was commented that the best part of the experience was getting to know people from other countries and being part of an international community. Everyone from Tsunami Yodokan who attended the weekend look forward to seeing their new international friends again and meeting new ones at the next international event, we hope to attend with even more students who wish to experience the feeling of belonging to the premier organisation that is Dai Nippon Butoku Kai. Finally we were very pleased to be personally congratulated on our Iaido by Kyoshi Ochiai, praise indeed. Sensei Mike Selvey 2006.
