First Canadian Jodo Taikai

The first ever Canadian Jodo Taikai (demonstration tournament) was held on Sunday August 8th at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre in Toronto. We expect to have more of these, perhaps two a year. The event coincided with a Canadian Kendo Federation(CKF) Iaido seminar and taikai.

We are very proud and pleased to announce that this first ever event was won by Renseikan's own Joe Vallejo. The round-robin tournament was conducted by the CKF under judges Sensei Kim Taylor, Sensei Ward Jardine and Sensei Don Croft. We are hopeful we will have another taikai during the annual Fall CKF Jodo Seminar. Again Congratulations to Joe Vallejo for his first place win.
