All year long are seminars related to the Spirit of Zen held at the Center.
Zazen sessions and Hitsuzendo can be integrated to the course of the seminar on the organizer’s asking.




KENDO
It has been 28 years now that Jacques Fonfrede met Taïkan Jyoji just returned from Japan, during a Kyudo seminar, held at the first Center Taïkan Jyoji then occupied. They at once decided that the Center should be open to the practice of the Way of the Sword although this was only made possible in 1989, after the inauguration of the third and present Center.
Since then, Iaïdo and Chanbara, 2 other complementary disciplines of Japanese fencing, have been added to the practice of Kendo. 2003 is therefore the 15th Kendo seminar led by Jean-Pierre Soulas (6th Dan Renshi, President of the CNK/FFJDA), Jean-Jacques Sauvage for Iaido ( 6th Dan, in charge of the CNK – the kendo national commission) and Jeanine Zhapova (3rd Dan Iaïdo) for Chanbara.
