WKKJO Academy

Get to London for the weekend of July 24-26 and learn much Authentic Okinawan Kobudo: 4 bo kata on Saturday and many Sai, Tonfa and K**a kata on Sunday.
There is a Meet and Greet Dinner at the Mandarin on Wellington on Friday the 24th from 7pm - 9pm. Videos and memories of Master Odo and subsequent training will be shared!

If you are looking to learn some BJJ this weekend, we are hosting our Annual IJJN Gathering on Saturday. There is still room for more participants. Call us for more information...

I was going through some stored items from years ago and came across this old shirt. Mike Kriegisch had this shirt made for Master Odo's following back in 2002 shortly after Hanshi Odo's passing. On the front a great pic of Master Odo performing a technique from Nakamura No Sai, and on the back a list of Dojo that supported this initiative... This year's July gathering is that much more significant because we will be performing short weapons on Master Odo's 100th Birthday!!!

Come and learn some significant Self Defense and Jiu Jitsu strategy! We're heading to the Mandarin restaurant on Hyde Park Road afterwards (reservation: 4:45 for the IJJN) :)

Finally bought myself a new black belt. The ratty one on the right is actually my third, which is being replaced. I have been wearing the candy cane (Kyoshi) belt since I received my 7th Dan back in 2005. If these old rags could tell stories...:) Have a great day!

I was recognized on December 6th as an 8th Dan in karate and kobudo by Hanshi Ken Tallack. Many thanks to my dedicated students: Mike Pol, Kyle Roy, Graham Broad and many others for joining us for the day and contributing to this event. Thanks to David Nixon (Nixon Martial Arts of Burlington), and Dennis Butler as well!...
