The Kendo World Championships will take place from 4 to 7 July 2024 at the Assago Forum in Milan.
In my 27th year of kendo practice, I am very happy that the @confederazioneitalianakendo has entrusted me with the creation and direction of this little adv and thus being able to contribute to the spread of a discipline that I love.
“One World, One Kendo” I believe is - today even more - a necessary message of peace and fully represents the fundamental spirit underlying the kendo practice, the rei-gi 礼儀 which must always be present and which we must bring from practice to everyday life.
My deep thanks go to the entire cast and crew, without their help and commitment this little film would not have been possible 🙏🏻
