We had another successful Jodo seminar in Guelph this Victoria Day long weekend. Renseikan dojo was well represented and Shieya Sensei (see below) was quite happy with our progress over the weekend. The seminar featured Shieya Sensei and Kuroga Sensei , both 8th dan Jodo from Tokyo Japan. There were five Jodo sensei and one Iaido sensei from Japan and this year there were more people doing Jodo than Iaido. Click on the above picture for some more photographs.
Anshin Dojo Visit On Thursday May 19th, some of the senior students from Renseikan Dojo visited the Anshin Dojo in Mississauga. We had a great class and focused on Kihon, Kata and Yakusoku Kumite. We look forward to the next visit.

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 May 26th On Friday May 27th 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. Aikido Kyu Tests On Monday May 30th we will holding Aikido kyu tests starting 7pm. There will be a list with eligible students up in the dojo over the next few days. Regular Children's aikido class will be canceled for that day to allow everyone to attend this important event. The adult class may also be cancelled if tests run past 9pm Karate Promotions Congratulations to the following students for passing their
