The word above has certainly not escaped your attention in the past few days (or weeks, depending on your location). Its unprecedented impact is felt in almost all geographies and spheres of society, including ours: Budō.
Several of the local and international activities of FAGRI-IGRAF are therefore at great risk of being postponed or temporarily suspended, if it is not already the case. We will therefore do our best to keep you updated of any changes to the Federation’s event calendar. At the same time, we encourage you, students and teachers, to find creative ways of persuing your personal path during this period of turbulences, while also caring for your safety and that of others.
