Dear Naginata Friends,
It's been another memorable month for European naginata. While autumn is in full swing here at home, one of our members went to Japan to perfect her knowledge of our martial art, and here is the story of her trip, thank you Daria :

Then, as you all know, the European seminar was held in Rotterdam with an impressive number of participants. Indeed, over 90 of us gathered under the guidance of Narita and Yamane sensei, with the help of Berghaan and D'hose sensei. José Antonio Delgado Hernández of the French federation tells the story of a training course beautifully orchestrated by our technical director François Dermine: https://naginata-federation.eu/naginata-family-one-reason-to-fight-for/
The course was preceded by a General Meeting, the minutes of which will be sent to you shortly, but which confirmed the next European championships in Sweden in 2025 and also the organization of European championships in 2026 in France.
