Dear Iaido Bu Members,
You are warmly invited to the BKA Iaido National Championships 2025, this year to be held on the 28th of June 2025. We have sourced Cambridge University Sports Centre for the event and look forward to running a successful and well attended event.
The Day will consist of the Iaido Individuals from Mudan to Rokudan pools and knockouts, followed by the Iaido Team Event. Times are 9:00am for a 9:30am start.
The Team Taikai will be 3 players per team and a maximum of 10 dans total per team (Mudan/Ikkyu counting as one dan). As per previous years each dojo may put forward as many teams as they wish. Note: In the case of a 2-person Team, 9 dans maximum and the Chuken position shall remain vacant.
A note, there will be no demonstration of how a Shiai works prior to the competition starting, so please brush up on this information. Lunch will not be scheduled, so please bring a packed lunch and eat when you can.
Booking on the event will be bookable via the online system, there is also an application form to fill in and send to the Iaido Squad Manager, to register individual competitors and teams:
Please have all entries completed by the 21st of June 2025. All are welcome, even if you do not have a team, where possible we will try to accommodate mixtures of players who do not have teams on the day.
If you have any newer members, or members who have not considered taking part in Shiai before, please encourage them to come along to the Nationals which is a great place to get some watching practice, test yourself and catch up with old friends or meet new ones.
