Where:

Training Focus:

  • Gyokko Ryu Koshijutsu will be the focus of study for the weekend.

Cost:

  • $150 CAD for the weekend or $75/day

What to bring:

  • Training weapons: bokken (daito/shoto/tanto), hanbo, shinai; iai & bo (if you have them). Some training tools will be available at Shin Ryu Bujinkan if you don’t have your own weapons.

  • Both COVID vaccine doses and a booster are required to attend the seminar. Masks are generally recommended, but not required, at the seminar during active training sessions (not water breaks and lunch).

  • Food and water for breaks - we’ll be taking a 1.5 hour break for lunch, but the dojo is about 20 minutes from in-town food locations. We plan to have some sandwich and soup offerings available for participants over lunch if they wish (please let us know about any allergies).

    Please note: We have a student with anaphylactic contact allergies to pork products, so please do not bring pork/bacon/ham products to the dojo itself, and please wash your hands and face with soap before resuming training if you’ve had pork products over lunch.

There will be a dinner on Saturday evening with Mark Vandehey Sensei at TBD (likely someplace with steak). Details forthcoming on this.
