Heard Around The Dojo Karate in the Park
The day started off a little tentative. Would it rain or not. It turned into a fantastic day. A light shower while we sat in zazen at the top of the hill looking into a picturesque park. Then it got hot to dry us all off. The workouts were kihon, kata, kicks, running, bunkai on the hill, kumite, yakusoku kumite and self-defense along with some other activities. We made use of the playground equipment, the wading pool and a picnic table. Thanks to everyone who attended and gave up their Sunday to train in karate-do. Click on the picture above for some pictures of our day. Thanks to Sensei Joe, who remembered his camera and managed to get a few pictures towards the end of the day.

We had a wonderful weekend with Christian Sensei, 7th Dan Matsubayashi-Ryu Karate-Do. He is a wonderful teacher, a Gentleman and someone with the fastest hands in Karate. He trained under Grand Master Shoshin Nagamine Sensei, and his knowledge about O'Sensei is remarkable. He taught two days, Friday at Anshin School of Karate (under Sensei Steve Trombley) and Saturday at our Renseikan Dojo(under Sensei Ward Jardine). We had a fantastic two days and are making plans to have him back on an annual basis.Click on the above picture for some pictures from his visit. New Pictures have been added 7/18/06.

Click on any of the upcoming events listed below to learn more: Annual Karate In the Park On Sunday August 27th all karate students should plan on joining us in Adam's Park for a day of outdoor Karate-Do. We will meet at the Rozelle Rd entrance at 9am and train until noon. After lunch we will continue training until 4pm. There may be Karate Kyu tests during the day as well. Candidates will be notified on the test date - so everyone should be prepared in advance. There will be a sign up sheet at the dojo and all lunch fees should be paid well in advance of the event. Testing fees will be collected from candidates in the classes following the test. There is a $25 fee for this event and includes lunch and water/beverages. Fee must be paid at the time you sign up. Karate Friendship 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 8:45pm adult class on the last Thursday of each month. The next Kata night is Thursday August 31st On Wednesday August 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. After the class we will hold our Shinbokukai (Friendship event) at a local restaurant or in the dojo. Karate Promotions Please see the Archives for past promotions.
