About AKSCB

The Aïkibudo Kobudo Sporting Club of Bernay  (AKSCB) was created in  1973, on the initiative of Jean-Guy Tournafond. At that time, courses were hold once a month in the former Turreau barracks. The instructor was André Tellier - now 7th DAN - who was the regional supervisor for Normandy.

Later, courses were hold on a weekly basis in the Dojo on Avenue de l’Europe, and they were monitored by several instructors. At that time, Serge Renault was the president of the club.

From September 1982, Michel Houdou became the official instructor. He had only reache the 1st KYU grade, but had already aquired a solid experience in martial arts.

In 1990, the club settled in the Dojo of Bourg-Lecomte, rue Alfred Sisley, in Bernay. Didier Varlet became president and remained so up to 2009.

A Kobudo course was settled on Monday evenings at the initiative of Antoine Cochin at the end of the 90s.

 A children section as well as a second Kobudo course were created in 2011.
