Iaido is practiced by many different schools and organizations worldwide. The history of iaido and how it has spread around the world is truly interesting. This section is to make note of specific people from the wider iaido community worldwide who have made a special effort to share their knowledge and skill with our dojo.

Kato Sensei

We are very thankful for the support and training that Kato Sensei, Hanshi, 10th dan (ZNIR), gave to our dojo over the years. We were deeply saddened to learn of his passing and will always remember his teaching and mentorship fondly. The Vancouver Eishin Ryu Iaido Club will always hold Kato Sensei in a position of respect and appreciation within our dojo for his efforts to teach and promote iaido the world over. We greatly admire and respect the dedication he had and the common values we shared as part of the wider iaido community.
