10.01.2022 Did you know that Star Wars lightsaber duels were inspired by kenjutsu? Thanks to this video maker for highlighting it with their special effects! You can really see the influence! Learning Jodo also means learning the sword as it is the "art of the stick and sword"

08.01.2022 It is with sadness that I report that Martin Sill passed away recently. He was a well respected and much admired member of our association. He was extremely powerful yet always considerate towards others. He made Jo in Australia better for having chosen to be a part of it. I think myself fortunate to have known him. May he rest in peace. (from Andrew)

06.01.2022 There are some techniques which seem very simple and straightforward yet when attempted become impossibly difficult. Here the late Nishioka Sensei demonstrates one such technique from the end of Samidares Ichimonji. Taking control of uchidachi without violent movements is almost beautiful.

04.01.2022 The twenty-four "sekki" are a traditional Japanese way to count the seasons. Over the next year we will introduce you to all twenty-four of these mini-seasons b...y posting a picture of Sengan-en and the name of the "sekki" on the day that they occur. October 8th is called "kanro", meaning "cold dew". The temperature starts to drop in the morning and evening at this time of year. #senganen #shimadzu #senganenseasons #24sekki #24 # # #travel #japan #zen
