Japan Update!

As of today, the event is officially over. If you are in our parents' Facebook group, you have seen small updates.

After 3 days of hard work, Team Canada walked away with a handful of medals. No one from Shima got a medal this time, but we had amazing matches and some very close contenders.

Senpai Oliver and Damion both made it to a bronze medal match, and although we didn't have our desired outcomes, being 5th best in the world is a pretty good finish.

It has been such an honor working with these athletes on the dojo tournament team for the last few years to see all their hard work pay off on the tatami here in japan. It was amazing.

Everyone performed amazingly, and I know that the memories and experience the kids have gained here will serve them greatly in the years of training to come.

At this point, I invite anyone who is interested in an experience like this to ask me about tournament classes on Saturdays. We will be working hard toward not just local tournaments but the 2029 world championships in Budapest Hungary!

I'll be sharing more photos from our trip as we get closer to home. I look forward to seeing everyone next week on the floor as we prepare for another great year.

See you soon.
Richard sensei.

Some of the Team Canada Shima athletes are getting ready for competition on the last day of training!

Stay tuned here on our Facebook and parents' group for more updates.

Hello everyone,

Time time make our online pages more active again!
We're thrilled to kick off our new community initiative with a food drive dedicated to supporting local families in need. This is more than just a call for donations—it's a celebration of our community's spirit and compassion. Join us in making a tangible difference. Whether it's a can of soup or a box of pasta, every contribution matters.

Donation bins will be set out at the dojo so all you have to do is send the kids in with the items to put in the bins. Even if you're not a current member if you would like to contribute please feel free to if you were here for 10 weeks or 10 years you have still been part of the Shima family!

Travel well everyone.
Richard Sensei.
