2022 report

“With Covid” has been going on for 3 years, but the practice at the dojo continues as usual without canceling, even while wearing masks. With regard to the scheduled events of the headquarters, some official demonstrations have been canceled. And also, It was very disappointing that the Katsuura camp and the overseas seminar were cancelled.

Despite this situation, we could participate in 3 official demonstrations, conduct monthly online seminars, special online seminars for 3 overseas branches / study groups, 2-day domestic practice camp, and the seminar / dan-promotion examination in Slovakia by Hasegawa Hombucho-Hosa.

A brief annual report is as followed.
