Heard Around The Dojo Summer Day Camp The Children's Summer Day camp was another success. The children enjoyed a fiv full days of martial arts and clay sculpture. The martial arts included Karate, Aikido, Jodo and Judo. Click here for some pictures from the week's activities. Day Classes Aikido and Karate Day classes are back. The aikido class will run Tuesday and Thursday 9am-10am and the karate class will follow at 10am - 11am. There will be no day classes next week due to the children's Summer camp running all day long but will resume the following week. The classes are open to both adult and children. Getting Involved I believe we have a great many talented writers in our dojo and many students with interesting questions and impressions of their past, present and future training. We would like to hear from you and so would everyone else. Write something for the Zen Living Newsletter and we eill get your questions, comments or impressions up here on this web site or on our sister blog site. Your submission should be in Word or and Text based editor or simply as part of the body or an email to us. Jodo In The Park We picked one of the hottest days to train in full jodo uniform in Adam's Park. We had a great 2.5 hours and covered basic solo movements (kihon tandoku) basic paired movements (kihon sotai) and ZNKR seitei kata (paired prearranged series of movements). We also did some koryu kata. Everyone expressed an interest in doing this again - just in a little cooler weather. Next time we will remember to take some pictures. Friendship Night
Thanks to all who made it out every month on Friendship - Kata Night We had a great evening of Kihon(basics), Kata, Bunkai(application of kata) and Yakusoku Kumite(Pre-arranged sparring). We also had a great time at Boston Pizza afterwards. Plan to join us next time (July 21st). New Renseikan Dojo Crests
Our New Renseikan Dojo Crests are now available at the dojo. They can be used in many ways, on your dogi it should go on the left side, over your heart. Upcoming Events
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 July 21st On Wednesday July 20th 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. In the past we have closed the dojo for two consecutive weeks for the summer holidays but this year we will be splitting up the weeks to reduce the time off from training at the dojo. The dojo will be closed the last week of July 25 - July 30 and August 29 - Sept 3rd. We hope everyone has a safe and happy summer and keeps up their training both in and out of the dojo.
