It's amazing how much our teens can learn in just one week. Here they are practicing a Tonfa form they only completed today!

Waking up with some combos on day 3 of Advanced/Teen Camp - and there's plenty more good training to come today.

It is fantastic to see our teen and adult classes back in action! We are so fortunate to have such a bright, open air studio in these times. If you haven't already resumed training with us in person, don't wait much longer! We are still keeping a safe distance while we train so there is limited space. Contact us today to reserve your spot!

We're BAA-aack!! Almost a full house for adult class on the dojo floor! Fantastic to see everyone, and especially to be able to see their feet and stances.

They twisted my arm, so we're having the Turkey workout on Zoom! Message or email if you want the login info. For those who don't know - this is our annual Thanksgiving morning, fun, music-driven, cardio-kickboxing workout. Join us for some virtual interaction and genuine sweat!

Undeterred by the cold, damp weather, the kids work hard in the parking lot!

Rohai Dojo's own Sensei Claire Kremen is winner of this year's Volvo Environment Prize for her "research and action reconciling food production and biodiversity conservation." We are proud of her, proud to have her as a member of our dojo community, and so glad she's been able to keep training with us on Zoom since moving to British Columbia! Read about her work at this link, and tune in tomorrow for the award ceremony. https://www.environment-prize.com/laureates/claire-kremen/
