Foggy windows = Hard training, and it was extremely hard.
Job well done to those who survived the class.
Exactly, 26 more days before Montreal.

The students of the advance class trained hard in the last training session
before the spring break. This winter term focused on Katas
"Geki-Sai-Dai" and "Tsuki-no-Kata". Make sure to practice them
at your house during the two-week break. Osu.

Haoyin and Johnny completed the training plan tonight
for the 3rd World Tournament. Our club has this tradition to conduct
 when fighters finished the last training for each tournament.
It's "Ni-Rei, Ni-Haku, Ichi-Rei" of Shinto.
Good luck, guys. You've done everything you could.

 the All Japan Weight Category Tournament
With Shihan Nakamura and his daughter, Masako.
Every time I go back to my Sensei,
I can go back to the beginner's mind.

June 20 at Vancouver Downtown Dojo Adults Class
Discipline at the dojo or relax at the beach?
A hot summer day like today wasn't good enough for VKK students to choose the latter.
Keep training during the summer because it's the best
 season to work on your conditioning.

July 3 at Richmond East Dojo
Sunday Fight Class keeps going throughout the summer.
We never slow down!

July 25 at Vancouver Downtown Dojo Adults Class
Sensei Brad and Michelle from the Calgary dojo
visited us tonight and trained together. The participants of the class were fortunate that
 they could learn several self-defense techniques from
 one of the most experienced instructors in IKOK-C.

Thursday is the busiest day for this dojo.
A total of four classes are offered, and over 100 students train.
Between the preparation of the Vancouver Cup,
belt grading and the regular classes, our dojo gets very busy around this time of a year.
It's all good for promoting Kyokushin in Vancouver.

Five kids actually showed and trained on Halloween Day.
A little game, "Kyokushin Kata Trick or Treat" awarded them
with a bag of candies and chocolates. Happy Halloween!
