The Team Canada Iaido Program is a grassroots initiative in the Canadian Kendo Federation aimed at showcasing the skills and spirit of our homegrown talent.
Everything is new right now. Our committee, our vision, and our plans. Don’t be surprised if things change over the course of 2019. In fact, we expect it will. With the help of those in the Canadian, and global Iaido community, we hope to make this a truly empowering and sustainable program.
