The event was arranged in Vienna, Austria, to promote and improve kendo skills internationally.

Feedback from Participant :
I participate every year. I am grateful to the 8th Dan Kendo teachers for allowing me to take lessons directly. Practicing with Japanese students was very beneficial for improving kendo skills, promoting international dissemination, and goodwill. Thank you very much.
