Next seminar
He starts Judô on 8 February 1967 at the Judo-Club de Montreux with Félix Zbinden (following Pascal Krieger who started in 1963). One evening of 1971, Pascal, returning form Japan, visited his former club, with a 2nd dan in judo, a 1st dan in jodo and a 3rd dan in iaïdo. That evening, Michel Colliard saw Pascal for the first time and could participate in a common judo training with him, then Pascal presented, alone, a completely unknown discipline in Europe called jôdô, followed by a demonstration of iaidô.
About 4 years later, Pascal came again, this time accompanied with Matthias Wenderoth for another presentation of jôdô. Michel Colliard was very impressed by the remarkable demonstration of jôdô. He decided to begin the study of this weapon with a dozen fellows judomen in 1977 and talked the Montreux Judô Club into creating a new section for classical weapons.
In January 1979, he also starts the study of iaidô under the direction of Pascal Krieger who comes to Montreux from Geneva twice a month to teach Judô, jôdô and iaidô.
