British Shintaido Events (open to all)

This is a list of British Shintaido run events, as well as some events run by local groups. All these events are open to anybody to attend, and are suitable for those seeking an introduction to Shintaido.

British Shintaido College events

These events are open to those invited to be a College member. These are generally BS members who have qualified by taking an Assistant or Instructor Shintaido exam or the equivalent in bojutsu or karate (1st kyu or above), although invitations may on occasion be extended to others, eg: overseas visitors.

UK courses in related disciplines

These are not Shintaido courses but are listed here either because they are run by respected Shintaido instructors, or because they are seen as closely related to Shintaido & so of interest to Shintaido practitioners, or both.

Major European & International Events

A list of major Shintaido events taking place around the world which might be worth travelling to for those seeking to broaden their experience of international Shintaido. This list is unlikely to be complete, so if you know of a major event not listed here do please let us know!

British Shintaido aims to organise a varied selection of events each year, from fairly modest & affordable local events to the more expensive residential events which enable us to go deeper into our practice. The schedule is apt to change sometimes at short notice so it's worth revisiting this page to check for updates. Or you can contact us and ask to be put on the e-mail list.
