The Auckland Iaido Club proudly hosted this year’s annual Spring Seminar over the weekend of 18–19 October, welcoming participants from across the North Island — including members from the Wellington, New Plymouth, and Whangarei Iaido Clubs.
This year’s seminar focused on putting into practice the latest teachings from Kaneda Sensei in Seitei Iai, hosting our very first Iaido competition, and concluding the year with our final grading.
We also took time to celebrate the success of our members who travelled to Australia for their grading — all of whom returned with outstanding results!
2025 has truly been a remarkable year for the Auckland Iaido Club, and we look forward to continuing this momentum and growth into 2026.
