Dear Members,
You are warmly invited to the BKA Iaido and Jodo National Championships of 2023, this year at separate venues unfortunately, due issues sourcing venues. We apologise for the late notice of the event, however a suitable venue has now been booked and we look forward to running a successful and well attended
event.
Please book your individual and team entries via the online booking system by the 31st of May 2023.

The Day will consist of the Iaido Individuals followed by the Iaido Team Event. 9:00 registration for
