On Wednesday 22 February, the first training session was held at the new location for the Seiryukan Dojo, in Burpengary, Qld, the home dojo of Shihan Jim and Tashi Lesley Griffin.
A number of yudansha (black belt holders) from the Seiryukan and other Shorinjiryu dojo were in attendance, including Tashi Des Paroz (Kengokai Dojo), Sensei Dave Holmberg, Sensei Luisa Colman (Seiryukan), Sensei Tony Fletcher (Shishikai Dojo) and Sensei Jason Romer (Shishikai Dojo).
The session consisted of a vigorous warm-up, basics and drills session (Sensei Dave Holmberg), followed by a review of the kata Ananku and some key bunkai (applications) from it (Tashi Des).
Congratulations to Shihan Jim and Tashi Lesley on the new location, and best wishes to all members of Seiryukan for their continued development in a new home!
