The dojo is looking good with a massive thank you to Hanshi Patrick McCarthy for taking the time to sort some hand brushed scrolls by Grand Master Hokama for us to hang in the Christchurch Koryukan dojo

Hi everyone
Due to the recent announcement from the prime minister we will be cancelling classes until further notice. Please stay home during this time and keep up your practise.
All the best Sensei Hayden and Connor

Special one off training on SUNDAY 22nd March starting at 10am, we will train for an hour and then have a good clean up of the dojo so please bring mops, buckets and cleaning products and gloves etc! A clean dojo is a safe dojo 😀

A couple of pictures of our Christchurch training weekend with Shihan Steve McLellan on Saturday we explored Koryu Uchinadi principles imbedded with the Futari Renzokugeiko two man flow drill of Koryu No Ryushan kata.
Sunday Shihan Bill Johansen took us through some ground drills.
It was a great weekend and again a massive thanks to those who came along to support us with Shihan Steve McLellan coming down from Auckland, Shihan Bill Johansen and Sensei Paul Massey-Reed coming from Australia, Renshi Erin Gamble and crew from Hamilton, Aaron Jones coming up from Dunedin and all those from around Christchurch, Rangiora and Rakaia. Also thanks to Connor Edmunds for helping prior and during the weekend.
