Here are some snaps from a trip to Japan earlier this month. It was fantastic to train at our honbu dojo in Adachi city, and catch up with friends. But there is always time to take in the wonderful sights of Japan. We managed to arrive and travel around during peak Sakura. 🌸

A very enjoyable seminar celebrating the life and legacy of Honda Masayoshi Sensei. Held in parallel with the Nihon Roshukai Honbu Dojo in Adachi-ku, Tokyo - and thanks to the time difference, we were able to continue the spirit of the event here in the UK!

Truly grateful for the opportunity to connect with fellow practitioners and friends to honour his memory. A special thanks to Fraser Biscombe Sensei for leading the teaching, and to everyone who attended and worked hard - it was a wonderful day! 💛
