<2> Report from overseas branch (New Year’s message)
(Kanazawa, Japan)
Happy new year! !
Last year, due to the impact of the Covid-19, Kanazawa branch was also in a difficult situation where we could not practice several times. This year, we are determined to try to improve our skills and increase the number of members even if this situation continues.
For the purpose of this, we would like to actively participate in online seminars, joint practice, camp and promotion examinations hosted and instructed by the Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu Headquarters. I believe that it is my mission to learn the essence of Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu, the essence of Japanese kobudo, to pass it on to future generations, and to make it take root in the Hokuriku region of Japan.
Lastly, we would like to ask for your continued support this year as well, as we intend to work hard every day with the spirit of “流汗悟道 (Ryukan Godo)”.
