Heard Around The Dojo March Break Classes All classes will be running as normal during the March Break Seimeikan Dojo Reunion Many of the former senior students of Seimeikan Dojo, which closed March 2003,
got together at the Regal Palace
Restaurant on Saturday March 5 for a reunion. The 13 course Chinese meal was only surpassed by the great conversation
and memories shared. Since Karasawa Sensei's retirement from the martial arts, many of his former students have not seen each other.
This was a very enjoyable evening and we hope to do more of this. Thanks to Peter and Tak for making all the arrangements.
Pictures can be seen here. February Kata Night

Click on any of the upcoming events listed below to learn more: Karate Kata Night We would like to invite any karate-ka who practice Matsubyashi-Ryu to join us for the last Thursday of every month. After a good warm-up of kihon (basics) we start kata practice and sometimes also add Bunkai (application) and Yakusoku Kumite (pre-arranged sparring) practice to the evening. Our dojo is open to all, regardless of rank or associations. This is a non-political dojo and a fun night of training together in the true spirit of Nagamine Shoshin Sensei's Karate-Do. If you are interested in joining us please contact us for directions and times or feel free to drop in for the 8pm adult class on the last Thursday of each month. The next Kata night is Thursday March 31st On Wednesday March 30th we will be doing our "Hajime" training in the adult Aikido class. "Hajime" means to begin and we will be doing techniques rapidly on that command. It is an excellent cardio workout as well as an excellent training tool. When you must react quickly over and over to a command, you have no time to think about what you are going to do - you can only do. That is important in the martial arts. Be sure not to miss this class. Jodo Seminar - Toronto On Sunday March 20th There will be a Jodo seminar in Toronto, 1pm - 4pm. The location is the AYC Dojo at Yonge and Gerrard. This is an excellent way to improve your jodo - in a 3 hour intensive session Easter Weekend The Dojo will be closed on Friday March 25th and Saturday March 26 for the Easter Weekend. We will be open on Monday March 28th. Karate Promotions Karate
