Tsuki Kage Ryu revived an old tradition this past weekend with a retreat at the dojo in El Pescadero, Baja California Sur. In attendance were senior students Rebecca Page sensei and Darlene Dull, along with karateka Marek, Elizabeth and Daphne. The weekend featured two seminars by master Shotokan and aikido instructor Rick Hotton sensei with other students zooming in from around North America.
Hotton sensei took us to the next level, drilling down into deeper bassai dai and jo technique, and inspirational metaphors about focus, awareness and intent. If you don't know who he is already, look him up!
There was a lot of good energy this weekend and a lot of talk about doing it again next year, so maybe the old tradition is fully reborn- coming up on our 40th anniversary in 2027!!
