KED Talk - Kendo from Italy to the World with Donatella Castelli

This is the Kendo Enlightened Discourse (KED) Talk series! This is a podcast-style series where we discuss vaguely kendo-related topics or whatever else comes to mind! In this episode, we talk with Donatella Castelli. She was born in Bologna, Italy, and is a Kendo Kyoshi 7-dan. She started kendo at the age of 22 in 1985. Donatella has practised kendo wherever she has moved for her work in Italy, Germany, Japan and the Netherlands. Donatella was a member of the Italian national team from 1990 until 2003 and national team coach from 2016 till 2020, and has also been president of the Italian Kendo Confederation and an international referee.

--- ABOUT US ---

Kendo World is devoted to Japanese budo (martial arts), and the dissemination of its vast practical, philosophical and historical aspects to the non-Japanese speaking community.

Although our primary focus is kendo, we also cover iaido, naginata, jodo, jukendo and tankendo, as well as other koryu (classical martial arts). Kendo World publishes books and articles of cultural and historical significance on various subjects related to budo. Kendo World gathers an international network of experienced martial artists spread across Japan and the world. The Kendo World Team is constantly trying to improve not only the quality of the publications, but the strength of the international kendo community. We would like to thank you for your interest in Kendo World, and look forward to seeing you in our different events.
