Last time Tokyo hosted the summer Olympics, Judo was introduced as a medal sport. This year WKF Karate will be a sport at the Olympics, making it the 2nd Japanese Martial art to be part of the games.

It’s great to see more of New York coming back to normal. Still, just like in self defense, don’t let your guard down.

Happy Independence Day from all of us at Shizen Ryu Aikijujutsu. Hope you are all enjoying the holiday weekend! Little fun fact. One of the many ways you can write America in Japanese is 米. 米国, specifically for the United States of America.
Like most kanji, 米 also has a second meaning, which in this case is rice. 国 is a kanji referring to country. The reason why is because originally when trying to write America phonetically, it came out as 亜米利加. 亜 was already used as a kanji shorthand for Asian; so they went with the 2nd kanji. In modern times, Japanese phonetically write forigin words in katakana as アメリカ (ア=a, メ = me, リ= ri, カ= ka). 米 can also be used be referring to the rest of the continent of America such as Central America as 中米 (中 meaning middle).

Laundry day. But in all seriousness, it feels good to be wearing the dogi on a more consistent basis again. The dark times can’t last forever. Keep going till the world is back to normal.

Since Shizen Ryu Aikijujutsu has had EMS members such as Sensei Rusty, Senpai Steven Aumoithe, the late Sensei John Morrone as well as others; and it was EMS week recently, here is a special logo with the yata no kagami symbol Shizen Ryu traditionally uses. In Japanese, EMS I’ve been told is 救急隊 Kyūkyū-tai. A big thank you to all who work in EMS during the pandemic, this and last year as well as every day you help the sick and injured. どうもありがとうございまし
