On Sunday, March 15, a Domestic Joint Training Session was held at the Budō Hall of the Chuo City Sports Center in Tokyo.

In previous years this event had been held in autumn, but starting this year it has been moved to spring. The training session was conducted jointly by members from the Sapporo, Kanazawa, Urawa, Nihonbashi-Hamacho, Setagaya, Ryogoku, and Yasuda Gakuen branches.

Although the training time was shorter than in past years, practicing with members different from our usual partners brought a refreshing experience, and every technique became a valuable learning opportunity. The shining sweat of diligent practice and the smiles echoing through the dojo left a strong impression.

The lecture by Soumucho sensei, which we rarely have the opportunity to hear, resonated clearly and solemnly in the dojo.

During the session, the scroll of “Aiki Jujutsu Okugi (Aiki no jyutu)” was awarded to Mr. Yoshizawa, former head of the Katsushika Branch.

Congratulations on this achievement. We look forward to your continued dedication and further refinement in training.
