The Active Women and Girls Sports Grants Program Queensland Government

The Queensland Government provided $25000 to Queensland Kendo Renmei to Active Women and Girls Program, to enable Queenslanders to participate in sport and recreation activities.’

The Australian Iaido and Jodo Boards acknowledge the collaboration of the Queensland Kendo Renmei and the Queensland Government Sports Grant in making this event possible. We encourage women and girls in our ranks to take advantage of this unique opportunity.

The Iaido and Jodo Boards are pleased to announce the support of two exceptional female instructors for the Queensland Kendo Renmei Women’s Seminar:
