The 35th EKF / FIK Referee Seminar will take place in Brussels, Belgium, bringing together experienced kendo practitioners and referees from across Europe. Organised under the European Kendo Federation (EKF) and the International Kendo Federation (FIK), this annual seminar provides an important opportunity to develop and refine refereeing skills, deepen the understanding of kendo competition rules, and promote consistent refereeing standards at the international level.
The seminar focuses on the practical application of refereeing principles, correct interpretation of yuko-datotsu, decision-making, positioning, and coordination between referees during shiai. It also represents an important part of the preparation and development of referees for major European and international kendo competitions.
Further details regarding the full programme, participation requirements and registration will be announced by the organisers.
