The classical budo, or "martial ways" are not combat systems like their forerunner, bujutsu, or "martial arts"; nor are they sports like modern judo, kendo, or karate.

Further details will be published in the build up to June. for more information email: info@budokanworld.com Saturday 29th March 2024 Lymington Dojo Kyoshi Darren Waghorn and Sensei Mike Clapham shared the dojo . Both taught two one hour classes. Kyoshi Darren was teaching laido and Sensei Mike was teaching Aikido. Sensei Mike taught four nage waza techniques (projections) Kote Gaishi, Shihonage, Irimi nage and Kaiten Nage. We used the same six attacks for each Nage Waza. Aihamni, Gyakuhamni, Chudan Zuki, Tate Zuki Jodan, Shomen Uchi and Yokumen Uchi. Our focus was not on speed but correct technique such as good maai, ensuring the Uke is off balance, correct breathing and maintaining Zanchin. After the first hour Kyoshi and Sensei swapped students. Sensei second class welcomed back some former students. During this class was back to basics. We started with Ikkyo and then moved on to Kote Gaishi, for both techniques the attacks were Aihamni and Gyakuhamni. We began with Gono keiko (static practice) making sure the Tori was stepping off the line and then attacking the Uke's center whilst encouraging the Uke to blend with the Tori all of the techniques were practiced Omote and Ura. The main emphasis for both groups in the iaido training was the four building blocks of iai, namely nukitsuke, furikaburi & kirioroshi, chiburi and noto. Practicing these individually can only improve your iai so far. To take it up to the next level these need to be brought together in kata. For the first group this was done by practicing standing versions of the 1st four katas of Seitai iaido. Martial artist must be aware of the surrounding in combat but also in training. An interesting sight for the people watching as a wall was used during Uke Nagashi (the third kata of Seitai) to help the students learn the first part of the kata. The second group, consisting of more senior grades, utilised the first two katas, Yukitzure and Tsuredachi from the Okuden Tachi-waza from Muso Shinden Ryu to practice the building blocks. 2025 is upon us Despite 2024 being a difficult year for the club, we are moving forward in the spirit drilled into us by Saisho Passmore. We have several weekend, one day events planned. These are open to all current and former Budokan members who wish to attend. So dig out your Gi, dust off your weapons and join us on the mat. There will be the usual social gatherings at a local venue after each of the dates.

Who’s student’s (if only for a day) talked about their experiences with him in detail nearly seventy years after his death. The first San-Dou-no-Hanshi in history.

Após muitos anos de treinamento com alguns dos melhores instrutores de karatê, Sensei Shigeru Kimura, Sensei Tekeshi Masuyama e Sensei Keiji Tomiyama, para citar apenas alguns, ele voltou às suas raízes no Budokan e tem a grande honra de continuar seu treinamento diretamente. sob Doshu Richard Salmon. info@highwaykarate.co.za O seguinte é um detalhamento das aulas de karatê que estão disponíveis na Upper Highway Area, Durban, Kwazulu Natal: Highbury Preparatory School em Hillcrest, segunda e quarta-feira, das 17h30 às 18h15 para juniores e das 18h15 às 19h15 para idosos. Escola Primária Forest View em Waterfall/Forest Hills, terça e quinta-feira, das 17h30 às 18h15 para os juniores e das 18h15 às 19h15 para os idosos. Budo Karate-do SA ensina o tradicional karate Shito-ryu e dá grande valor aos numerosos kata e seus Bunkai que foram transmitidos ao longo dos anos. Os dojos são amigáveis e oferecem instrução em todos os níveis e idades, além de sediar torneios de estilo durante o ano para que os alunos participem em um ambiente amigável. A cada ano, o estilo oferece aos alunos a oportunidade de participar de um All Grades Gashku, normalmente um evento de dois dias. Além disso, os Faixas Marrons e Pretas têm o privilégio de participar de um seminário de treinamento de fim de semana prolongado (gashku) em um acampamento de praia que termina com classificação. .. Vencedores do troféu com Sensei Daniels CLASSIFICAÇÕES ANUAIS DE 2020 ESTILO COVID Ao contrário dos anos anteriores, 2020 nos deu muitos novos desafios e nenhum mais do que manter nossos alunos avançando e classificando-os durante o bloqueio do Covid-19. No passado, nossos Faixas Marrons e Pretas foram classificados em um fim de semana prolongado realizado em um resort de praia (TO Strand) na Costa Sul de Kwazulu Natal. Infelizmente, com o aumento das infecções por Covid-19, juntamente com os protocolos necessários, tivemos que reduzir a classificação sênior deste ano e integrá-la no mesmo dia da classificação das notas mais baixas. Na minha opinião, sob as circunstâncias, isso seria o melhor possível com o Doshu chegando e se juntando a nós para o dia. Infelizmente, por causa do aumento nas infecções por covid, Doshu e eu sentimos que se tornou muito arriscado para ele comparecer. No mesmo tom, um de nossos sensei de Guateng que deveria voar para comparecer também teve que se retirar de sua classificação. Começamos pela manhã com nossa classificação de faixa marrom e preta, que durou três horas a portas fechadas. Para grande decepção de nossos candidatos de classificação, certos aspectos da classificação tiveram que ser descartados por causa da decisão sobre o distanciamento social. Isso significava que não podíamos fazer trabalho de bolsa/impacto, Hokai Kumite, Ippon Kumite ou Ju Kumite. O foco principal da classificação foi voltado para Kihon, Combinações e Kata. No final da classificação, os pais foram eventualmente autorizados a assistir à atribuição das notas. No geral e considerando o longo período de bloqueio no início deste ano, o padrão foi bom. Parece que as aulas de zoom que substituíram as aulas normais de treinamento funcionaram. À tarde fizemos mais duas sessões dividindo os faixas branca, amarela e laranja na primeira sessão e as faixas verde, azul e roxa na última sessão do dia. A maioria dos candidatos classificados eram nossos jovens que em um ano normal teriam se classificado em junho. A empolgação por eles estarem eventualmente se classificando era muito evidente e, na maioria, o padrão era bem mais alto do que eu esperava. Embora as circunstâncias para a classificação tenham mudado diariamente até a classificação com a possibilidade de cancelamento, em última análise, acredito que o dia foi um grande sucesso, considerando. Muito bom distanciamento social!

DOJO O CORAÇÃO E A ALMA DO TREINAMENTO Existem milhares de dojos que praticam Karate, Aikido Iaido e outras artes marciais japonesas tradicionais como o Kendo, Ju Jitsu, Kodokan Judo e Kobudo - principalmente pequenas "casas" de formas marciais. Gostaríamos de reunir esses dojo por meio de seus líderes de dojo a fim de criar e hospedar todo o conteúdo necessário para ensinar e aprender o Budo Japonês tradicional da maneira como foi originalmente planejado, que se tornou parte de nossa linhagem. Inclusive, se algum dojo desejar, o ensino das virtudes clássicas do Bushido japonês, com a prática do zazen ou meditação sentada. A BIBLIOTECA OLINE nunca substituirá o treinamento dedicado necessário para adquirir habilidades relevantes em artes marciais - mas servirá como um complemento a esse esforço à medida que mais ensino e aprendizado ocorrem on-line, simplesmente porque é mais facilmente acessível a qualquer momento. Pretende-se que essas páginas do DoJo também contenham notícias, eventos, notas, reuniões sociais e visualizações em palavras, imagens e vídeos do que as pessoas, colegas e amigos do Budo estão fazendo na condução de suas vidas diárias, onde quer que estejam no mundo .

BUDOKAN MISOGI 7 DECEMBER 2024 LYMINGTON DOJO A Misogi is an ancient Japanese Shinto purification ritual that involves washing the body and is also a method for personal development and transformation. A traditional Misogi usually involved standing under a freezing waterfall to cleanse the mind and the body of the participants. Thankfully, the modern approach involves challenging oneself to do something difficult even if you are not guaranteed to succeed. The Misogi challenge is about doing something tough once a year that shapes how you will live the rest of your 364 days. On 7th December 2024 the members of Budokan UK came together to prepare for the coming year and to celebrate the life of Saisho Passmore by engaging in a Misogi which Sensei Mike designed together with the Shihonkai. Significantly the date was chosen by Saisho who had intended that this would be the Budokan year end event. At the opening of the Misogi Sensei Mike welcomed the attendees and family members and reminded us that although this was a somber occasion it was also a joyous one which provided the members the opportunity to salute Saisho’s achievements and to mourn his passing. What was most impressive was that the event was attended by twenty practitioners as well as other passed members who did not participate in the misogi. All who attended could only be impressed with the manner with which Mike attended to his management of the misogi. In preparation for the Misogi, Kyoshi Darren prepared the Kamidana which was much admired by all those who attended. Its central position on the dojo floor made this the focus of us all. To spiritually cleanse the dojo Kyoshi Darren performed two Iaido kata which Saisho would have been proud of. Sensei Mike reminded us that Saisho began each year with the test of a thousand cuts so naturally, after the cleansing kata, the Misogi started with that test. Doing a thousand cuts with a bokken is no mean feat and certainly challenged us all. Some of the senior citizens had to take a break during the exercise. Just watching the practitioners, you could see the concentration etched on their faces. One need only look at Pat Miller to see what I mean. At the end of the exercise, it was traditional to have the exhausted members hold their bokken on their arms stretched out. Saisho also used to bring along a very heavy bokken and, as was his practice, he would choose someone to hold the heavy bokken out in front of them (usually Keith) so it was great to see that sensei Mike keeping up that tradition and bestowing that honor on Keith again this time around. It was great to have Joe Braconi with us, he having travelled all the way from Edinburgh to attend. We look forward to having him regularly attend down in Lymington and he has promised to do so again later this year. After the thousand cuts Sensei Mike, Toby Mellows, Paul Floyd and James Bryden demonstrated one of Saisho’s kata for the members after which Sensei Mike demonstrate a Bunkai from the kata which the members practiced. Sensei Mike and Shihan Toby went on to demonstrate 3 Bunkai from the Kata, which they went on to work with all the students. We continued with a 20 minute Zazen which was very important to Saisho. (to come a couple of articles that This was published within the 4th edition of Hanshi Hamada's book Quintessence of Japanese Classical Martial Arts). It was with great pleasure that James Bryden was award his Nidan Certificate. James was the last student to be assessed by Saisho who determined that he qualified to be elevated to his second Dan grade. At the end of the misogi the Kamidana was dismantled and Saisho’s katana was handed back to Katy Passmore for safe keeping. She is a member of Budokan and serves on the Shihankai and will keep the katana. Part of the misogi ritual is the requirement that the dojo is again cleansed, and Kyoshi Darren very kindly performed the closing Iaido cleansing kata for us. This was a very moving ceremony and is followed by the spreading of salt around the dojo. The evening was concluded by a curry a great gathering at The Chequer’s in Lymington. Many story’s and laughter were shared by old and new members of the Budokan family. There are a few students that for unforeseen reasons were unable to attend the event but were keen to be there in spirit, Peter Robinson, Hilary Crundwell and Nicky Charnick. Let’s hope we will see you all in June! We will be holding A Flag Ceremony on June 21st 2025 – it is the flag that will be given to Saisho’s family from the DNBK. For more information email: Info@budokanworld.com Sensei Mike Clapham Kyoshi Darren Waghorne Pat Miller Keith Molyneux Kyoshi Peter Bush and Sensei Joe Bracone Richard Cozens, Steve Hill, James Bryden, Nick Singleton Sensei Mike and James Bryden Kyoshi Darren We were also very privileged to have several of the original members of Budokan in attendance. Pat Miller, and Roy Estabrook and Paul Smith. We were very privileged to have Saisho’s children in attendance.

Sensei Mike reminded us that Saisho began each year with the test of a thousand cuts so naturally, after the cleansing kata, the Misogi started with that test. Doing a thousand cuts with a bokken is no mean feat and certainly challenged us all. Some of the senior citizens had to take a break during the exercise. Just watching the practitioners, you could see the concentration etched on their faces. One need only look at Pat Miller to see what I mean. At the end of the exercise, it was traditional to have the exhausted members hold their bokken on their arms stretched out. Saisho also used to bring along a very heavy bokken and, as was his practice, he would choose someone to hold the heavy bokken out in front of them (usually Keith) so it was great to see that sensei Mike keeping up that tradition and bestowing that honor on Keith again this time around. It was great to have Joe Braconi with us, he having travelled all the way from Edinburgh to attend. We look forward to having him regularly attend down in Lymington and he has promised to do so again later this year. After the thousand cuts Sensei Mike, Toby Mellows, Paul Floyd and James Bryden demonstrated one of Saisho’s kata for the members after which Sensei Mike demonstrate a Bunkai from the kata which the members practiced. Sensei Mike and Shihan Toby went on to demonstrate 3 Bunkai from the Kata, which they went on to work with all the students. We continued with a 20 minute Zazen which was very important to Saisho. (to come a couple of articles that This was published within the 4th edition of Hanshi Hamada's book Quintessence of Japanese Classical Martial Arts). It was with great pleasure that James Bryden was award his Nidan Certificate. James was the last student to be assessed by Saisho who determined that he qualified to be elevated to his second Dan grade. At the end of the misogi the Kamidana was dismantled and Saisho’s katana was handed back to Katy Passmore for safe keeping. She is a member of Budokan and serves on the Shihankai and will keep the katana. Part of the misogi ritual is the requirement that the dojo is again cleansed, and Kyoshi Darren very kindly performed the closing Iaido cleansing kata for us. This was a very moving ceremony and is followed by the spreading of salt around the dojo. The evening was concluded by a curry a great gathering at The Chequer’s in Lymington. Many story’s and laughter were shared by old and new members of the Budokan family. There are a few students that for unforeseen reasons were unable to attend the event but were keen to be there in spirit, Peter Robinson, Hilary Crundwell and Nicky Charnick. Let’s hope we will see you all in June! We will be holding A Flag Ceremony on June 21st 2025 – it is the flag that will be given to Saisho’s family from the DNBK.

HISTÓRIA DO KORYU JUJITSU UMA PEQUENA HISTÓRIA DAS ARTES MARCIAIS A ferocidade do guerreiro japonês e suas artes de luta fascinaram os ocidentais desde que o Ocidente entrou em contato com eles há mais de 450 anos. No entanto, não foi até o final do século XIX e início do século XX que os ocidentais começaram a praticar qualquer uma das artes marciais japonesas. O JUJITSU foi um dos primeiros, talvez até mesmo o primeiro dessas Artes a ser ensinada no Ocidente e não demorou muito para que a nova Arte e Esporte do JUDÔ de Kano Jigoro começasse rapidamente a ganhar popularidade no Japão e vários praticantes de JUJITSU, incentivados por seus instrutores, mudaram para o JUDO de Kano, que embora baseado em métodos básicos de escolas de jiu-jitsu mais antigas, era considerado na época um sistema mais "estruturado cientificamente". Ao mesmo tempo, outros dojos ocidentais de jujitsu seguiram seu próprio caminho, incorporando idéias ocidentais em seus sistemas e, assim, lançando as bases para alguns dos estilos modernos de jujitsu vistos hoje. Mesmo alguns dos dojos mais antigos da Europa foram forçados a mudar para o judô mais moderno e popular, apenas para sobreviver. Isto é o que também aconteceu com nosso Kodokwan dojo aqui na Zâmbia, que foi formado em 1928. Na época de sua formação era o único dojo que praticava JUJITSU e então por volta do início da década de 1940 nosso Kodokwan começou a incluir a prática formal de judô em seu dojo . As escolas tradicionais de SAMURAI JUJITSU ensinavam não apenas uma arte defensiva, mas os currículos compreendiam uma gama muito abrangente de táticas, equipando os expoentes para enfrentar uma grande variedade de situações. Isso está em nítido contraste com as técnicas usadas nas competições modernas de JUDÔ, por exemplo, as técnicas clássicas de jiu-jitsu não foram projetadas para marcar pontos, mas para serem eficazes para aumentar a chance de sobrevivência, permitindo ao oponente uma oportunidade mínima de contra-ataque. Os arremessos eram aplicados de forma que o combatente pudesse quebrar um ou mais membros de um oponente antes de jogá-lo, geralmente após o oponente ter sido atacado com atemi ou golpes no corpo. Quando o oponente estava voando pelo ar, ele foi repentinamente empurrado para baixo de tal forma que, em circunstâncias ideais, ele quebraria o pescoço ou pelo menos feriria seriamente a coluna. Não havia espaço para qualquer erro no campo de batalha ao enfrentar um oponente engajado em COMBAT JUJITSU e não havia regras ou técnicas proibidas na batalha. Samurai no campo de batalha envolvido em "Yori Kumi-Uchi" vestido de armadura, exigia reflexos super rápidos e a máxima autoconfiança em sua técnica. "Zanshin" estava no auge nesta situação de sobrevivência, pois mesmo o menor erro, uma postura desequilibrada ou perda de concentração pode resultar em morte. O uso de Yori Kumi-Uchi era essencial para uma luta eficaz em armadura, pois através disso o guerreiro desenvolvia o equilíbrio, a alavancagem e a mobilidade com os quais preservava sua posição, permitindo que ele usasse Atemi ou Kansetsu-waza para quebrar um membro e arremessar seu inimigo no chão, em seguida, puxe sua lâmina curta e mergulhe-a em seu adversário. Uma lâmina especial, "Yori-doshi", foi usada no quadril direito para esse fim. Por razões óbvias, essas técnicas são proibidas no esporte moderno do JUDÔ e até mesmo no moderno JUJITSU. No JUDÔ, onde a segurança do parceiro em treinamento ou competição é uma questão muito importante, arremessos como "Ippon-seoi-nage" [arremesso de ombro de um braço], são aplicados com o braço do Uke [destinatário da força) em a posição Junte, para maior segurança. Uma característica importante do jiu-jitsu clássico é justamente que muitos arremessos são iniciados com o braço do uke na posição de gyakute. Existem também alguns tipos de arremessos no JUJITSU CLÁSSICO em que ambos os braços do Uke estão travados na posição Gyakute, tornando-o muito mais perigoso, pois torna o Ukemi, [medidas defensivas, como o break-falling] mais difícil, na verdade quando a técnica é executado corretamente, o ukemi se torna quase impossível. Como o ARTISTA MARCIAL CLÁSSICO não era protegido por regras em combate, ele precisava de um conhecimento muito profundo de escapar e usar Ukemi para sobreviver a arremessos que eram aplicados com a intenção de mutilar em vez de marcar um ponto. No entanto, é preciso perceber que quando um arremesso é executado corretamente, com a intenção e velocidade de mutilar ou mesmo matar, o Ukemi cam fica muito difícil. Portanto, se possível, era melhor escapar usando muitas técnicas diferentes, pouco antes de ser arremessado, sendo algumas dessas técnicas de natureza muito extrema, mesmo estando preparadas para sacrificar uma mão ou cotovelo ou deslocar um ombro, apenas para se afastar ser arremessado, não como o SPORT JUDO, onde ser arremessado significa apenas perder um ponto. Escusado será dizer que alguns JUJITAU RYUHA vieram se especializar em equipar expoentes para escapar de arremessos logo antes das ações serem iniciadas. No JUJITSU TRADICIONAL não havia tal coisa como um "movimento proibido", as táticas que poderiam ser empregadas incluíam e são, - grappling (kumi), arremesso (nage), além de técnicas para limitar o efeito negativo de um arremesso, contenção (osae ), travando as articulações (kansetsu-waza), engasgando (shime-waza), atacando os pontos vitais do corpo (kyusho-waza), golpes corporais (atemi), chutes (keri), empurrões (tsuki) e golpes ( uchi)- Tive a honra e o privilégio de assistir estes Koryu-Ryha Sensei demonstrarem seu JUJITSU na cidade de Kyoto, no Kyoto-shi Koryu Bujitsu Enbukai [A Reunião de Demonstração de Artes Marciais Tradicionais da Cidade de Kyoto), onde várias escolas de Koryu Bujitsu de todo o Japão se reúnem. para demonstrar suas habilidades. É realmente incrível ver esses velhos JUJITSU SENSEI jogando cada um ao redor, e fazendo ukemi nos pisos de madeira de pinho duro, sem tatames! Tive até a rara oportunidade de treinar por um tempo com o Sensei Arao 5º dan, de Tondabayashi, cidade de Osaka, que na época tinha mais de 60 anos. SENSEI ARAO é MESTRE DE BUDO EM TOMIKI AIKIDO E DAITO-RYU JUJITSU onde praticou no Tennoji Aikikan no centro de Osaka. Finalmente, neste momento gostaria de agradecer também a todos os Sensei, Senpai e Kohai em Takatsuki-shi, Tondabayashi-shi Shimin Taiku-kan Budo Dojo em Osaka, por suportarem este "Zambian kara hen na no Gaijin" (estrangeiro estranho da Zâmbia) por todos esses anos.

The Budo Charter Budo Kensho The Japanese Budo Association was formed in 1987. The English version of their Budo Charter was produced in 2004 and is reproduced here for your interest. Their Philosophy of Budo was published in 2009 and will be posted up soon. Budo, the Japanese martial ways, have their origins in the age-old martial spirit of Japan. Through centuries of historical and social change, these forms of traditional culture evolved from combat techniques (jutsu) into ways of self- development (do). Seeking the perfect unity of mind and technique, budo has been refined and cultivated into ways of physical training and spiritual development. The study of budo encourages courteous behaviour, advances technical proficiency, strengthens the body, and perfects the mind. Modern Japanese have inherited traditional values through budo which continue to play a significant role in the formation of the Japanese personality, serving as sources of boundless energy and rejuvenation. As such, budo has attracted strong interest internationally, and is studied around the world. However, a recent trend towards infatuation just with technical ability compounded by an excessive concern with winning is a severe threat to the essence of budo. To prevent any possible misrepresentation, practitioners of budo must continually engage in self-examination and endeavour to perfect and preserve this traditional culture. It is with this hope that we, the member organisations of the Japanese Budo Association, established The Budo Charter in order to uphold the fundamental principles of budo. ARTICLE 1: OBJECTIVE OF BUDO Through physical and mental training in the Japanese martial ways, budo exponents seek to build their character, enhance their sense of judgement, and become disciplined individuals capable of making contributions to society at large. ARTICLE 2: KEIKO (Training) When training in budo, practitioners must always act with respect and courtesy, adhere to the prescribed fundamentals of the art, and resist the temptation to pursue mere technical skill rather than strive towards the perfect unity of mind, body and technique. ARTICLE 3: SHIAI (Competition) Whether competing in a match or doing set forms (kata), exponents must externalise the spirit underlying budo. They must do their best at all times, winning with modesty, accepting defeat gracefully and constantly exhibiting self-control. ARTICLE 4: DOJO (Training Hall) The dojo is a special place for training the mind and body. In the dojo, budo practitioners must maintain discipline, and show proper courtesies and respect. The dojo should be a quiet, clean, safe and solemn environment. ARTICLE 5: TEACHING Teachers of budo should always encourage others to also strive to better themselves and diligently train their minds and bodies, while continuing to further their understanding of the technical principles of budo. Teachers should not allow focus to be put on winning or losing in competition, or on technical ability alone. Above all, teachers have a responsibility to set an example as role models. ARTICLE 6: PROMOTING BUDO Persons promoting budo must maintain an open-minded and international perspective as they uphold traditional values. They should make efforts to contribute to research and teaching, and do their utmost to advance budo in every way.

Taking care of ourselves, our families, our friends and our communities has never been more important in our lives, as we struggle with the everyday reality of what is happening around us, to us and to many whom we know. "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." Lao Tzu We wish you whatever you wish for yourselves in the New Year of 2024 and we hope we can inspire you to keep head, heart and soul together for the benefit of those around you.

PETER BUSH My initial involvement in the martial arts started in August 1958 when I was 7. My Father enrolled me in the Ladysmith Health & Strength Club Gymnasium situated at 37 Keate Street, Ladysmith, Natal, South Africa, to learn Judo. In 1960 after I had just attained my junior 6th Kyu (green) belt, my Father was transferred to Durban. I never continued practicing judo in Durban and it wasn’t until 1971 that I reconnected with the martial arts. At that time I was working for the Department of Justice, Durban, having just completed my compulsory one year of military service. The chief financial officer, “Hank” (Herman) van Niekerk “Sensei Van” invited me to train at Budokan, Russell Street Dojo. On my first day there I was introduced to Sensei Ray Ryan, Sempei Vic Sykes, Sempei John Sinden and two junior black belts, Alan Haig and Alan Davies. Whilst with Budokan Russell Street, I attained the grade of green belt (6th Kyu). In January 1974 I enrolled at university to start a Bachelor of Arts degree. Because of my studies I was having difficulties attending training and almost stopped karate, however, I fortuitously ran into John Reece (3rd Dan Kodokwai) who was training the Natal University Karate Club. This was a branch of Kodokwai (JKA) which John ran together with Phil Mumford. I knew John from Grosvenor Boys High School where we went to school. He invited me to train at the University club where I had the pleasure of training under Sensei Robby Ferrier. I trained with Kodokwai from 1974 to 1976 eventually attaining my blue belt (5th Kyu). I represented the university in several annual inter varsity karate championships from 1976 to 1980. In 1976 I happened to bump into Sensei Vic Sykes. He had opened his own dojo called Ninja SA a club which he had started with Albie Frazer. Sensei Vic invited me to join Ninja SA. I was honoured to do so. On 13th March 1976 I was graded to Second Brown belt (2nd Kyu). Later in March of 1976 I travelled to the UK and whilst living in London trained with Sensei Keinosuke Enoeda, (9th Dan) until I returned to Durban. I then carried on training at Ninja SA and on 19th June 1976 I was graded to First Brown (1st Kyu). In 1978 as a 1st Kyu brown belt I won the South African Karate Association All Styles Kumite Championships brown belt division. In 1979 I was graded to Shodan together with Hennie van der Merwe, Mickey Scofield, Alan Haigh and Alan Davies. Our grading panel consisted of among others, Ray Ryan, Derrick Wridgeway, Larry Foster and Vic Sykes. In November 1980 I married and moved to Matubatuba where I ran my own dojo affiliated to Budokan. I was transferred to Darnall and opened a dojo there as well, also affiliated to Budokan. On 8th October 1983 was graded to Nidan. In 1984 I returned to Durban and continued to train with Budokan both in Durban and Westville. In 1984 and 1985 I took part in Springbok trials and although selected, never actually got the opportunity to earn my Springbok Colours. South Africa was excluded from international sport because of apartheid. In the years that followed a number of competitions were held throughout South Africa. These were sponsored by Sportsman’s larger and although I achieved some success in kumite no national recognition resulted from these tournaments. In 1989 I was graded to Sandan. Sadly this was the last grading attended by Sensei Ray Ryan who died shortly after. At the 1989 grading Terry Bosch was appointed as head of Budokan SA by Ray Ryan. Terry’s gym in Umbilo then became Budokan Hombo Dojo. I continued to train with Sensei Terry until March 2008 when I moved to the United Kingdom. During my karate career I have had the pleasure of training under Sensei Keinosuke Enoeda, Sensei Shigeru Kimura, Sensei Chojiro Tani, Sensei Yashitatsu Fukawa (Kendo) and Sensei Hasui Sasaki (Kendo). Sensei Hasui Sasaki was the head of the Kyoto Riot police and was invited to Durban by Sensei Ray Ryan. In 2003 I became an Advocate (Barrister) and a member of the Society of Advocates of KwaZulu Natal. I continued to train with Sensei Terry Bosch in Umbilo and with Sensei Vic Sykes in Hillcrest. In 2008 I moved to the United Kingdom where I was called to the Bar as a member of the Honorable Society of the Inner Temple. I digress to mention that when leaving for the UK in 1976, Sensei Ray Ryan had urged me to contact Sensei David Passmore whilst I was there, however, I could not find him. Fortuitously, I discovered that he was training in Lymington and visited him at Budokan UK dojo in around March of 2014. In February 2015 Sensei David Passmore “convinced” me to train with at the Budokan Lymington dojo. On 12th December 2015 I was graded to Godan (5th dan) and received the rank of Shihan. I have subsequently been given the rank of Renshi. 2018 and 2019 were wasted years because of the pandemic. I currently train at the Amazon Gym in Shropham, mostly doing kata and zazen. I have a Zen Garden at home where I practice zazen. I practice iaido at home primarily because I don’t like spectators around me when doing sword work. I remain an active member of Budokan UK as the Registrar and member of the Shihonkai.
