There are two camp sessions available, and registration will be on a first come first serve basis. The cost for each session is $150.00 plus a small materials fee (expected to be between $10 - $12). Click here for registration information or pick up a registration form at the dojo
Summer Holidays
The dojo will closed Monday July 29th and reopen Tuesday August 6th for our annual summer holidays.
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 decided this month to 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.
