Our members keep distinguishing themselves!
At the Martial Arts Gala 2025 on 26 April, the Swedish Kendo Federation special prize was awarded to Kari Jansson from Issha Kyudo Kai, with the following reason:
As the previous national team coach, Kari put in a tremendous effort ahead of the 2024 World Taikai in Japan. But most of all, he is a passionate soul in his dojo, where he makes sure everybody feels okay, regardless of their goals or motivation.
Kari distinguishes himself through his great courage, his integrity, and his driving force when it comes to basic values. Among other things, he shows great devotion to facilitate training opportunities for the elderly.
His dedication to mental health, personal development, and well-being makes him an outstanding role model in kyudo.
A heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS from us all!
