The EKC (European Koryū-bujutsu Convention) is a platform for koryū bujutsuka training in Europe in official and authorized lines. Koryū bujutsu is the practise of classical Japanese warrior fighting systems/school that predate the modern (Meiji 1868) era.

In 2020 everything was geared up for the largest Koryū embu in Europe to date, when everything changed under the COVID pandemic and the the EKC had to be cancelled.

Dōjō all over the World faced major challenges under ever-changing regulations. Travel has been limited making travelling abroad for training or embu was problematic for many of us.

We are happy to announce the plans for the following EKC and intend to be back better and bigger then ever before.

The aim of the European Koryū-bujutsu Convention is twofold:

• to encourage the academic study of koryū bujutsu and the exchange of ideas among practitioners of kobujutsu ryūha in Europe.
• to offer the interested public a serious and accessible platform to learn more about authorized kobujutsu and get in touch with the respective study groups in Europe.
