The Shin Nippon Bujutsu Kenkyū Kai (真日本武術研究会) association had the privilege of being invited by the Panathlon® Family Games (Lausanne) to introduce children and families to the art of katana wielding. Saturday, May 17th was reserved for children, and Sunday, May 18th was open to both children and adults. Our association was able to introduce more than 120 people in small groups, building bridges among the more than 40 disciplines present.
This event would not have been possible without the support of the City of Lausanne and the entire Panathlon® Family Games team. “It truly showcases the spirit and richness of the City of Lausanne, both in sporting, cultural, and social terms.
