Lidstone Memorial Kyusha Taikai 2019

The 2019 Lidstone Memorial Kyusha Taikai is now open for registration!

Every year, we celebrate the legacy of Charles Lidstone who was one of the earliest Kendo teachers in Europe, leader of Nenriki Dojo from its inception in 1966 and a person who took particular interest in nurturing beginners. The taikai is specifically aimed at kendoka new to the art. All BKA Kyu grade with less than three years experience are eligible to participate in the competition. There will be pools of “training shiai” (Shiai Geiko) with advice on what to do in a shiai environment. The taikai will follow afterwards and the day ends with open jigeiko to all, both participants and guests. Finally, there will be refreshments available for all.
Please note that the venue this year will be the Ark Walworth Academy Sports Hall, Shorncliffe Road, Southwark, London SE1 5UJ.

We look forward to seeing you!
