Another great one day intensive learning experience! Thank you sensei!

Join us in experiencing the unique teachings of IAF shihan, Toshiharu Sawada, as he teaches the integration of weapon movements into open hand techniques. Please bring a jo staff and bokken if possible.

Taking a moment to thank Hamilton sensei for last weekends training. As usual, quality on quality! Also, a thank you Lam sensei and the other members who showed up to train with us. We had a great time and look forward to seeing all of you next month.

A traditional certificate issued by Judo Founder Jigoro Kano in 1895, showing that the transition to the modern dan ranking system was still in transition.

A few photos from our one day intensive. Our motto for the day "Don't blame being sweaty!"

Congratulations to Jackie and Mike Bean for passing their Yonkyu examination. It was an excellent test on both their parts.

Rest in peace Chiba Shihan. http://www.birankai.org/index.html
