Annual KAIDO Masters Gathering in Sveti Križ Začretje (Croatia) – July 5, 2026
The Annual KAIDO Masters Gathering, held in Sveti Križ Začretje on July 5, 2026, brought together masters and instructors of the International KAIDO Organization for a day of joint training, the exchange of knowledge, and the strengthening of long-standing friendships.
During the event, several masters were promoted to higher ranks, and Vladimir Sitar was appointed as the new President of the International KAIDO Organization.
The beautiful sunny surroundings provided ideal conditions for practicing unarmed self-defense techniques, partner drills, and the use of traditional martial arts weapons. Throughout the day, the focus remained on precision of movement, mutual trust, and the transfer of knowledge among experienced masters.
Each training session once again demonstrated that KAIDO is founded on continuous learning, exploration, and the refinement of martial arts skills. The gathering gained additional value through the exchange of different approaches and experiences, enriching every participant.
Alongside serious and dedicated practice, the event was marked by a spirit of friendship, unity, and mutual respect that defines the KAIDO community. Participants demonstrated self-defense techniques, defenses against various attacks, and the use of traditional Japanese weapons, showcasing the diversity and completeness of the KAIDO system.
Gatherings like this play an essential role in the development of every Kaidoka, as they unite practical training, tradition, and friendship. The photographs from the event best reflect the dedication, discipline, and positive atmosphere that characterized the entire gathering.
KAIDO continues to build an international community where knowledge is shared, experience is respected, and martial arts are lived—not merely practiced—from one training session to the next.
Majstorsko godišnje Kaido druženje u Svetom Križu Začretju 5.7.2026.
Majstorsko godišnje Kaido druženje u Svetom Križu Začretju 5.7.2026. okupilo je majstore i instruktore KAIDO organizacije na zajedničkom treningu, razmjeni iskustava i njegovanju dugogodišnjeg prijateljstva. Promovirani su majstori u viši rang a dobili smo i novog predsjedavajućeg organizacije Vladimira Sitara. Sunčano okruženje pružilo je izvrsne uvjete za vježbanje tehnika goloruke samoobrane, rada u paru i primjene tradicionalnog oružja. Tijekom cijelog dana naglasak je bio na preciznosti pokreta, međusobnom povjerenju i prijenosu znanja između iskusnih majstora. Svaki trening još je jednom pokazao da se KAIDO temelji na stalnom učenju, istraživanju i usavršavanju borilačkih vještina. Posebnu vrijednost susretu dala je razmjena različitih pristupa i iskustava koja obogaćuju svakog sudionika. Uz ozbiljan rad nije nedostajalo ni dobrog raspoloženja, zajedništva i međusobnog poštovanja koje obilježava KAIDO zajednicu. Sudionici su demonstrirali tehnike samoobrane, obrane od napada te rad s tradicionalnim japanskim oružjem, potvrđujući širinu KAIDO sustava. Ovakva okupljanja važan su dio razvoja svakog Kaidoke jer povezuju praksu, tradiciju i prijateljstvo. Fotografije sa susreta najbolje svjedoče predanosti, disciplini i pozitivnoj atmosferi koja je obilježila cijeli događaj. KAIDO nastavlja graditi zajednicu u kojoj se znanje dijeli, iskustvo poštuje, a borilačko umijeće živi – zajedno, iz treninga u trening.
