2009 Sho-Rei-Shobu-Kan Annual International Convention

This week Sho-Rei-Shobu-Kan is hosting its 2009 Annual International Convention. Shihan has students and affiliate schools throughout the world and once a year he invites everyone back to the Hombu Dojo for testing and fellowship.

This year's convention theme is "Growing from the Trunk." There will be classes in Jui-Jitsu, Judo, Pakua, Daitoryu, Kobudo, and Aikido. The Karate portion will include kata, bunkai, and drills, with the focus on kiso kumite. They will also work on knife defense and dahruma exercises.

Due to the convention, this week's Jiu-Jitsu schedule has changed.

We will have class on Thursday, however we will also have convention attendees in the class with us. I am encouraging all of the regular students to attend so as to assist me with the class. Many of the convention goers are primarily Goju-Ryu Karate practitioners and some Judo folks, so Jiu-Jitsu is not their primary martial art.

There will not be any Jiu-Jitsu class on Friday, June 26th. We'll resume our regular schedule on Sunday and have our 1100-1300 class.

Your preternatural ability to see right through to what I'm trying to say is so remarkable, yet mysterious, that it's actually frightening.
