Last week we were invited to demonstrate at the Waltonwood retirement facility in Ashburn. We had a wonderful time sharing Master Ochiai’s teachings and working with the residents on some basic self defense techniques.

We were greeted with a lot of enthusiasm and it was clear that the residents truly enjoyed themselves, as did we!

Thank you Waltonwood, for having us!

Our weekend at Headquarters began Friday night with an All Ranks class, culminating with a celebration of Osensei’s 87th birthday, (which is today!).

Master Ochiai’s Saturday seminar entitled “Tanden and Ki” focused on the development of the tanden and a number of breathing and healing techniques.

We ended the day with the annual Instructor Training seminar. Osensei shared with 80 or more certified Washin Ryu instructors the essential elements necessary to guide and grow the numerous branch dojos. It was an inciteful and at times a poignant discussion and there was a palpable sense that no one wanted it to end.

A very long overdue CONGRATULATIONS to Michael Karam for achieving the rank of Shido-in (instructor), to Kelly Fleming for achieving the rank of Jun Shido-in (junior instructor), and to Mark Thorpe for promotion to the rank of Joh-i Shido-in (high-rank instructor!

You have all trained very hard for many years. It is well deserved! We are all proud of you and proud to have you as instructors at our school.

Side Note: This Saturday is the Fall Seminar and annual Certified Instructor Training, so the dojo will be closed on Friday and Saturday.

Thank you for your understanding as our instructors attend this very important seminar, so they can continue to provide the best instruction possible!

Last weekend, we hosted the 2026 Wa-shin Ryu Spring Festival and 3rd Annual Hidy Ochiai NOVA Cup. This year’s tournament was a dedicated Junior competition and everyone performed very well and had a great time.

Master Ochiai kicked off the weekend celebration with a special class and seminar, which was attended by students as far away as Ohio, New York, Boston and Connecticut.

Our junior students all trained very hard for the competition and all their hard work was rewarded. More photos of the competition to come!

Congratulations to all who competed, and thank you so much to those who volunteered to make it such a successful weekend!

In the tradition of Japanese martial arts, the students take responsibility for cleaning the dojo, as part of our training.

Our 2026 Spring cleaning event was supported by almost 30 dedicated students and parents.

Thank you to all who participated! And a very special thank you to Mr. Thorpe and Mrs. DeLong, who organized and led the cleaning!

The dojo looks beautiful. We had a lot of fun!
