A reminder to parents that the kids classes will resume in our Enniskerry dojo, Powerscourt National School on Weds 19th April at 6pm. There are still a few places available for new students. Please contact Alan ASAP if you would like to enrol your child.

Children are the future. And what better future than to have well-rounded, focused, confident individuals with a good balance of physical and mental health. Our Japanese martial art is a great place to start!

More great insights to take to heart...

“If all you are is uke ( receiver ) for your training life and survive, you have succeeded as a martial artist”
Nagato Sensei

People believe that the only way to prove yourself as a martial artist is to be strong,fast,have fantastic skills and win fights. However, the martial artist is not someone that seeks out violence. If you are able to understand the depth of ukemi and the meaning of ninniku yoroi ( to bear no grudges or desire for revenge ) one can control the space to avoid unnecessary conflict as much as possible.
The ultimate goal of studying Budô is to live ones life in a way that peace is attained without the need for fighting.
南虎

“Violence is to be avoided, and Ninpo is Bujutsu”. Use the sword to be peaceful, and protect country, family, and nature”.
-Togakure Ryu
