TOSHISHIRO OBATA Kaiso 4-Day Training Camp September 26-29, 2003 the Netherlands The Dutch Shinkendo - Aikibuken Federation is proud to be sponsoring Obata Kaiso's fourth annual visit to the Netherlands! Obata Kaiso's lifelong dedication to Japanese Budo and Bujutsu (traditional martial arts) has made him an unrivaled authority in the techniques, history and philosophy of the ancient Samurai. His school emphasizes very traditional and effective swordsmanship and Aikibujutsu, which with serious training, leads to both practical ability as well as a deep understanding of classical Japanese martial arts. The authenticity and profundity of Obata Kaiso's teachings has inspired the allegiance of many teachers and students around the world. Currently 50 branch schools provide instruction in Shinkendo and Aikibuken (18 schools of Shinkendo exist in Europe). In an effort to support the growth and development of European Shinkendo and Aikibuken schools Obata Kaiso has been making yearly visits to Europe from his Hombu dojo (head dojo) in Los Angeles, California. This training camp is a chance to meet and train with one of the truly great martial arts masters of our time.
