Just returned from the American ju-jitsu institute Ohana 2026 seminar in Honolulu, this was an amazing weekend of training at which I was honoured to be invited to instruct. Many many talented martial artists present from across the Kodenkan Danzan Ryu family and beyond. I hope some will come visit us in the uk over the next few years
