Posted on 4/21/2020

The upcoming Genbukan Japan Taikai has been postponed, and will be held on November 16th through the 21st 2021. Tanemura Soke also said that, "This is a good time for training - kihon happo, bojutsu, biken-jutsu, iai etc".

Genbukan members worldwide are still invited to attend and explore what Soke Tanemura named "Takamatsu Martial Arts True History" taikai. The taikai will still take place at the same hotel so there is no extra fee. Start saving up to attend, if you are planning on going.
