Hanshi Marshall McDonagh left us on January 8, 2025. Marshall was a true Budo Kyoshi and gave so much to so many during his lifetime. I am grateful to have had him as a Sensei and good friend for over 50 years and thank him for all the knowledge he generously shared.
Now that his Ki has faded, Yoshinken and I will continue in his spirit.

"May the search never end" ( Marshall McDonagh)

Hanshi Marshall McDonagh will be honored on Saturday in Haga Parken at Yoshinken's Shin-nen-keiko, a place he trained at since 1974 and which he loved.

I had an inspiring and fantastic time In Tokyo with Yukio Ito sensei. He was a very nice host who took me to temples restaurants and taught Tai Ki. We went to Iwama Norimasa sensei and together we visited the grave of O sensei Sawai Kenichi. A very special moment!

A year ago an era came to an end. Besides all the titles he had, he was first and foremost Sensei Jan Kallenbach of Shin-Shinbuken from Amsterdam. Jan's mission was to keep Budo alive.

In loving memorie we will continue to do so.

Het was een bewogen jaar met het overlijden van onze Kyoshi Master Teacher Jan Kallenbach. Ik wil iedereen het beste wensen voor 2022. Ik hoop dat we gezond mogen blijven en zonder restricties kunnen trainen en ook onze buitenlandse Taikiken vrienden weer kunnen ontmoeten in 2022.
Namens het bestuur van Shin-Shinbuken,

It has been an eventful year with the passing of our Kyoshi Master Teacher Jan Kallenbach.
