3rd Hong Kong Battodo Taikai... On June 4th the Hong Kong Toyama Ryu Iaido Dojo held it's third taikai.  In the words of Mr. Lok: "With many helps from our friends, Dojo student and Sensei, the 3rd Hong Kong Battodo Taikai was able to complete smoothly and safely.  Sensei was impressed by the progress of the younger student.  Their skills have much improvement compared with last 2 years." We would like to congratulate Mr. Lok and his dojo on their continued work and success in training in Toyama Ryu Iaido.
