The Brussels Yaegaki Kai is an Iaido (居合道) dojo located in Brussels (Uccle) Belgium. We hope that this website will promote the development of Iaido. A Japanese martial art coming directly from the samurai-time.
The Brussels Yaegaki Kai - Iaido Club Ucclois is an affiliate of the All Belgium Kendo Federation (ABKF), which itself is part of the International Kendo Federation (IKF). Membership in the Brussels Yaegaki Kai dojo is open to anyone interested in learning Iaido and all skill levels are welcome. View our training hours page.
In September the BYK will lift the restriction on the number of participant, no need to book a place anymore. Sports hall is still under governmental and district rules, meaning no changing room are available and mask is required while moving in the sports hall. Due to space limit in the dojo the wear of mask will be required during the entire Keiko. Only exception is if the number of participants is less than 7 people. Tuesday and Sunday are open to new beginners. See you soon in the Dojo.
