Budōkan Dōjō

Share

Based in the North East of England, we study the martial arts of Iaido, the Japanese art of the sword, and Jodo, which uses a wooden stick or Jo.

The Dōjō's main art is Iaidō, also offering Jōdō alongside. Iaidō(居合道) is the traditional art of sword drawing. The style practiced at the Budōkan is Musō Jikiden Eishin Ryū, meaning Unequalled Direct Transmission Eishin Style(無双直伝英信流). A style with around 400 years of traceable history. We also practice the All Japan Kendō Federation Seiteigata, allowing our grades to be recognised across the glo

Hello again!

Training during the last couple of years has been incredibly difficult however we are pleased to say we are now back into our usual venues and established as a regularly training club again.

If you are a past student who fancies joining us again or if you are completely new to Iaido and just want to have a go, we train every Thursday night 7pm-9pm at the Quaker Meeting House on Skinnergate in Darlington.

If you haven't been before and/or don't own your own kit please contact us in advance so we can bring kit for you to borrow.

But the main point was to catch up with each other.. have a laugh... and some boozes.

LOCKDOWN LAWS EXPLAINED 3 tierv2 14/10/2020

I can't share the original post as it won't let me but this is the content that has been posted on the BKA members page:

The latest message from Amanda re the new COVID three tier system:

“I have produced a set of notes about the new Covid 'Tier system' which have been uploaded to the members documents area. You can download them from there:
There is a general explainer of what the types of possible restriction are and what currently applies where, and then a separate document for each Tier.

You can also find them here on my personal G drive:

The link I sent in my last email https://dracos.co.uk/made/local-lockdown-lookup/
now links you to the Tier that you are in and your local council website (there might still be additional local restrictions)

Best wishes
