The Kelso-Longview Chamber of Commerce honored Shinju Dojo with a ribbon cutting ceremony on June 7, 2022. It was very exciting to be recognized this way as new members of the Chamber community. Thank you, everyone, for making it so special for us!
Roy and I were recently on the radio talking about Shinju Dojo as new members of the Chamber of Commerce! You can listen to the episode online here: https://soundcloud.com/am1400-kedo/kelso-longview-chamber-show-6-1-22  Congratulations to our new orange belts! You are doing great. Thank you for being a part of our dojo family.  I recently came across a very interesting website with downloadable copies of the first book on written by Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido on his famous martial art. The book is called "Aikido Maki-no-Ichi." Even though it is written in Japanese, English speakers may find the illustrations interesting. Check out the website here: https://www.aikidosangenkai.org/blog/aikido-maki-no-ichi-osensei-first-book/ A PDF version of the book itself can be downloaded here: https://www.aikidosangenkai.org/downloads/aikido-maki-no-ichi.pdf  Congratulations, Alex, on your yellow belt promotion! You'll be a black belt before you know it.  I recently came across a very interesting website with a downloadable copy of a book written by Kenji Tomiki, the founder of Tomiki-Ryu Aikido. The book is called, "Judo Taiso – a method of training Aiki no Jutsu through Judo principles," and was first published in 1933. While the book is written in Japanese and is no longer in circulation, the photos and illustrations are of interest universally. The website with information about the book is: https://www.aikidosangenkai.org/blog/judo-taiso-aiki-no-jutsu-kenji-tomiki/ A PDF version of the book itself can be downloaded here: https://www.aikidosangenkai.org/downloads/judo-taiso-aiki-no-jutsu-kenji-tomiki.pdf  Congratulations! Roy has been promoted to master level, sixth degree black belt and Heather to seventh. It was a total surprise and we both feel honored. We appreciate all our students over the years who have asked the tough questions that have kept us learning. Thank you to all our friends and mentors who have helped us along the way. We look forward to many years of teaching to come.  We hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Due to icy road conditions, Youth and Family LINK has closed their facility and gym today. We don’t want to take a chance on the roads either, and out of an abundance of caution have decided to cancel class tonight. Cross your fingers the roads are clear by Wednesday! See you soon!  A great, big, thank you to everyone who came out to the solstice walk on December 18! We had a fantastic time and enjoyed all the smiles warming up the longest night of the year. We appreciate everyone who helped out with our booth and kept everything so happy. See you next year!    |
