It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Daniel Labas Sensei, a most respected sensei in the Belgium federation. Daniel Sensei left us yesterday, leaving a void that will be deeply felt throughout the Belgian and European community.
Daniel Sensei’s legacy will forever be interwoven with our practice. His spirit will remain a guiding presence for many of us, inspiring to continue the path he forged almost 30 years ago.
May you all remember Daniel Sensei during your next keiko.
Rest in peace, Daniel Sensei. Your dedication, guidance, and spirit will be dearly missed but never forgotten.

Congratulations to Chieko Yano and Hontoir Frédéric.
They have passed their 6 Dan examination at the High level iaido seminar last weekend.

Our National Kendo Team came home from the EKC this year with good results.
They took home a lot of fighting spirits:
- Kurogi Kota (Men team)
- Haeke Sakura (Ladies team)
- Van Laecken Ken (Men ind.)
And a bronze medal in the Junior individual for De Smet Haruki.
Congratulations to all the members of the Team!
