December 2021
To all Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu Branch/Study group Chiefs
2021 is about to end under the influence of the unprecedented COVID-19 disaster that has involved the entire world. I would like to express my deepest sympathies to all the affected students and their families. And I am proud as Hombucho that many of the students made best efforts to continue practicing even under the circumstances of going out restrictions and dojo closure in each country.
I will give you a brief annual report.

・ If requested, we will hold special practice of the headquarters. Please contact and ask us directly.
・ I would like each branch to participate in the demonstration of the Japan Traditional Martial Arts Association and Japan Traditional Martial Arts Promotion Society, and overseas seminars. If you or your students would like to participate, please consult with Hombucho.
I would like to return to normal as soon as possible and hold regular seminars and camps, but we cannot predict at this present. Online seminars will be held on the second Sunday of every month, and online branch/study group chiefs’ meetings will be held at any time. I would like to overcome this difficulty while strengthening communication between students.
Let’s defeat COVID-19 and spend 2022 well.
Thank you again for your cooperation this year.
I wish you a wonderful 2022
