Belgium
 

While I was wandering around this forum I encountered lots of different nationalities but not a single person from Belgium. If there are other people from Belgium on this forum, pleas post something here!
It's just out of curiosity!http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

i am living in waffleland though not strictly belgiumese.
I believe there are some othe folk on here as well as sneaky ninjers who dot no post.

If you want to do some niten or iai gimme a buzz.
I am in Leuven

I guess you just didn't look hard enough :-)

hah the ninjer avails itself.
30 posts? really?

Another belgiumese guy here... I am Belgian and live in Belgium(Ghent), ha!

ooh i want to visit the bonsai shop near there. They take ecocheques. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif
But is it possible to get there by public transport? http://www.ginkgobonsai.be/

Aha so there are Belgian people around here! nice!

Do you Facebook?
You will find a 'Michael Simmonini' there.....5th Dan Iaido; plays somewhere in Belgium [Brussells; Ixelle] with a Hanshi called Yoda Sensei;
Also find his girlie;- Yuki Kanto; 4th Dan...... same group

Both are Jikiden......... so they do it properly.

Nice! If they ever let me visit our Nivelle office, I'll remember to bring my iaito and visit yoda sensei. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif

Haha yoda sensei (I think t's good he doesn't here you or he's say he's a movie star (he has something for John Wayne http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/tongue.gif)) it's Oda Katsuo sensei (for those not knowing him http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/tongue.gif)

Michaël and Yuki are indeed very good Iaidoka! I have the honor of training with them from time to time http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif
here is the link of their dojo http://www.yaegaki-kai.be/ (some very intresting stuff there ^^)

@rottunpunk

you can get there by public transport if you take the train to Gent Sint-Pieters and then take bus 36 (direction Hamme) until LAARNE BREESTRAAT you hop off there, walk about 150 m and you are at the shop http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif

Thanks for the info dude
Perhaps we should all do a waffleland KWF meet up at some point

haha what about we all go to the koryu stage (iaido) in brussels from 27th to 29th august? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/tongue.gif like that we have nothing to organize http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/redface.gif
But yeah it would be nice, altough I think most of the people that are here long enough already met eachother http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/tongue.gif

alas this is the weekend before the other half leaves for a big bike trip
>But what is this stage of which you speak?
