Great class at Hombu today with 3 instructors on the floor. Great warm-ups with Sensei Garrett, followed by Shindo and basic Kihon with Sensei Jen, and then Kihon combinatinos with Shihan Erich, wrapping up with full Kata Curriculum, including all accessory kata.

Lots of fun for all involved!

Keep training and refining at home - especially as we approach gradings!

Don’t ask what your dojo can do for you, but what you can do for your dojo. Don’t shy away from learning to instruct. It is not only critical to those around you but your own understanding of yourself and your knowledge of your karate-do.

We also practiced Shindo and moving leg work in Kumite.

Today and this week I wish to honor my teacher, the late Dai Sensei Saiko Shihan (Top Teacher, Highest Master) Masaru Shintani. May 7th, 2026 marks the anniversary of his passing.
Although he is no longer with us physically, his spirit and teachings live on through all of us, his students.
A true martial artist, Dai Sensei Saiko Shihan Masaru Shintani modelled important attributes such as Loyalty, Humility, Compassion, Strength, Determination, and so many others.
Here are a few pictures of my teacher the late, Dai Sensei Saiko Shihan Masaru Shintani (Supreme Instructor) on the anniversary of his passing. Sensei " YOU ARE GONE, BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN. " Never a day goes by that your name is not said, you are forever in my heart. My mission to teach your way, and only your way. Your teaching live through us your humble students. I see you in everything we do and accomplish. THANK YOU for everything you have given me and all your students. "LOYALTY TO THE END."
Please take a moment to read about his life ( https://www.wado.ca/wado-history ). You can also watch a clip of Dai Sensei Saiko Shihan Masaru Shintani and myself in his last public demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDuNIBJWLhw
Have a GREAT and SAFE week.
In Harmony, Shihan Greg 🥋🇰🇾 🇨🇦 🇵🇭 ⛩
