Vancouver Traditional Martial Arts Dojo

Twice a year the Dojo holds a Karate grading. Students present Kata, basics, and even write an essay to complete their grading requirements. These events demonstrate the spirit of the Dojo and the training. More so they showcase the best of humanity.

One of the Dojo’s newer students recently had a chance to work on her Kata while in the exceptional islands of New Zealand. A truly fantastic and excellent place to train. Great job 👏

Amazing spring afternoon at the immaculate . The colors of new life are everything. A perfect place for some Tai Chi Chuan and QiGong.

It’s been a while… had a chance to present another Tai Chi Chuan workshop for the beautiful today. Always a fantastic place to work on Tai Chi and QiGong. 🙏

When students of the Dojo travel they are encouraged to keep training and to send back pics of the beautiful and unique places they get to train in. Here a Tai Chi Chuan student works on his form along the shores of the Arabian Sea at Fort Kochi, and in the coastal Gnat mountains of western India. ☯️👊🙏

Asagao flowers, grown by Emperors and Shoguns, are a profound teacher. Like any single technique they are fleeting, vibrant, and bold. They remind us that in the simple beauty of nature the deepest secrets of life and Budo are to be found.

Each summer the Dojo runs classes outside to connect with the fresh air and green grass. It also allows students to learn some Kobudo or traditional weapons training. A highlight of each year for everyone.

Karate gradings are important events in every Dojo. Students demonstrate more than just the techniques and applications of the art, they demonstrate the spirit of the way of Budo.
