<2> Report from overseas branch (New Year’s message)

(Kanazawa, Japan)

Happy new year! !

Thank you very much for all your help last year. As we enter the New Year, I wish all the members of Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu good health and happiness.
Last year, due to the impact of the Covid-19, Kanazawa branch was also in a difficult situation where we could not practice several times. This year, we are determined to try to improve our skills and increase the number of members even if this situation continues.
For the purpose of this, we would like to actively participate in online seminars, joint practice, camp and promotion examinations hosted and instructed by the Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu Headquarters. I believe that it is my mission to learn the essence of Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu, the essence of Japanese kobudo, to pass it on to future generations, and to make it take root in the Hokuriku region of Japan.
Lastly, we would like to ask for your continued support this year as well, as we intend to work hard every day with the spirit of “流汗悟道 (Ryukan Godo)”.

The Hawk Cove Study Group/ Ryuzukan dojo would like to wish our Daito-ryu family a happy 2023 New Year!

We are looking forward to the opportunity, post-COVID, to train, socialize with, and to be a unifying force for our global Daito-ryu family in 2023.

In this New Year we will strive to better support Somucho Sensei and Hombucho Sensei in their mission to preserve and disseminate the main-line of Daito-ryu.
