Shoheijuku Newsletter December 2022

Yuyukai

On Saturday, November 5^th, the examination and seminar for Yuyukai (Mr. Tsukasa Yoshida, Dojo Rep) were held at Kakogawa City Martial Arts Hall. Nearby dojos including Kobe Shoheijuku and Harima Shoheijuku as well as Kagurajuku from Shimane Prefecture joined us. 

I was especially impressed to see that the examinees were using atemi effectively and executing techniques for the children class examination.       

Nishinomiya & Izumi Otsu Dojo

On Sunday, November 20^th, the seminar and examination for Nishinomiya Dojo and Izumi Otsu Dojo (Mr. Mitsuo Shimada, Dojo Rep) were held at Izumi Otsu City Gymnasium.

The children class students were cleaning the dojo efficiently and they looked having fun doing that. Because it was a practice with courtesy in a friendly atmosphere, I returned Fukuoka with a very good feeling.

Isahaya Dojo

On Sunday, November 27^th, the joint examination and seminar for Isahaya Dojo Dojo (Mr. Naohiro Inoue, Dojo Rep) and Nagasaki Shomonkai (Mr. Atsushi Maeda, Dojo Rep) were held at Nagata Ikoino Hiroba Bumbukan in Isahaya City.

This time, the number of participants was restricted and we had about 50 people. I heard that the dojos especially had many novices in the children classes recently. There were also many female adult members and we enjoyed practicing in a cheerful atmosphere.   

Beppu Dojo

I could not include this in the last month edition. On Sunday, October 30^th, the examination and seminar for Beppu Dojo (Mr. Hiroo Sakamoto, Dojo Rep) were held at Beppu City Martial Arts Hall. We also had participants from nearby dojos. It was a lively seminar.
