Takeshi Yamaguchi Sensei, 7 Dan Kyoshi Kendo, 6 Dan Renshi Iaido, will head an instructional panel comprised of some of Americaís highest-ranking Iaido Senseis. This yearís camp will encompass 2 full days of instruction, one day of tournaments, and one day of rank promotion and embu. These events are open to all current or prospective members of the All United States Kendo Federation (AUSKF), members of the International Kendo Federations (IKF), and invited guests.
The camp will be held at the Greenhill School Gymnasium located at 4141 Spring Valley Road in Addison, Texas. Tournament day will include two tournaments.
