❄️ KANGEIKO.

For centuries, martial artists have trained through the depths of winter.

Not despite the cold.

Because of it.

For 45 days, from June 21 to August 4, Newcastle Aikido will undertake its first Winter Kangeiko.

A challenge of discipline, consistency, community, and showing up when every excuse says otherwise.

Some of you experienced Shugyo 🐺

You know what happens when a group commits to something difficult together.

This is different.

This is winter.

Train together through the cold.

Endure. Sharpen. Forge.

June 21.

Let's begin.
