We invite you to come and enjoy our demonstrations there. Here are what some people have said about our demonstrations:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe art of\u00a0kenjutsu was beautifully demonstrated. The movements were simple, graceful, yet powerful. I enjoyed it immensely.\u201d<\/em>

\n“I attended your demonstration at the JCCC during the Haru Matsuri. I must say that I was very impressed at how informative and incredible that experience was! I think that\u00a0your demonstration of kenjutsu\u00a0was even more than a swordsmanship lesson to me. It was a life lesson! Thank you so very much, for such an awesome experience!”<\/em>

\nPlease take the opportunity to come talk to us after the demonstration and ask us any questions you may have about the arts we practice.<\/p>\n

Finally, we would like to thank Ms. Christine Takasaki at the JCCC for allowing us the continued opportunity to showcase our arts to the community. It is truly a great honour.<\/p>\n

“The cooperation and contribution of organizations such as Tokumeikan, are an essential part of the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre\u2019s Haru Matsuri (Spring Festival) and Road to Asia Festival martial arts demonstrations. Their support is part of the strength of the relationships that are developed through the JCCC\u2019s motto of \u2018Friendship through Culture.\u2019”<\/span><\/span><\/em>
