In March and April of 2015, Tong Sensei held three seminars in Orangeville to introduce students to the art of Yagyu Shinkage Ryu kenjutsu.
This is what was said about the seminar:

“It was a pleasure and a privilege having Sensei Tong introduce our students to the art of Kenjutsu. His knowledge and instruction of both the technical and philosophical aspects, as well as the history of the art, made the seminars incredibly enjoyable and educational. Sensei Tong’s dedication and genuine passion for Japanese swordsmanship was obvious from the beginning, and created an open and positive learning atmosphere. Having the opportunity to experience such a rare art form was a privilege that any martial artist would be lucky to have.”
