MIKE CLAPHAM Comecei meu treinamento no karatê em 1973, aos 16 anos. O dojo ficava no porão de um hotel com vista para a água de Southampton. O estilo era Kyushindo, meu professor era um cavalheiro chamado Ray Wood. Após 4 anos de treinamento, fui classificado para faixa preta sob o olhar atento do instrutor-chefe de Kyushindo, um francês chamado George Mayo (ao contrário da maioria dos sistemas, você foi classificado como faixa preta primeiro e depois shodan) alguns anos depois, eu estava classificado para shodan. Em 1982, enquanto trabalhava como operador na Usina Elétrica de Fawley, abri um dojo em sua sala de conferências, que contou com a presença de alguns de meus colegas e seus amigos e familiares. Em 1983 fui classificado para Nidan. Após nove anos, o despedimento e a mudança de carreira forçaram uma pausa na minha formação. Em 2004 fui apresentado pelo meu bom amigo Richard Cozens a Kyoshi David Passmore que recentemente começou a ensinar Budokan em um pequeno dojo em New Forest. Sou aluno do Sensei David Passmore desde então e recentemente tive o privilégio de receber o posto de Godan e o título de Shihan. Durante esse tempo, tive a sorte de participar de três seminários de fim de semana na Buxton University e um em Ardingly, onde pude participar de aulas como Jujitsu, Aikido, Kobudo, Judô, Jodô e Kendo, para citar apenas alguns, ministrados por professores de alto escalão, principalmente o falecido Fuji Sensei Kendo Master. Recentemente me tornei um líder de dojo em um dos clubes satélites do Sensei, onde me esforço para manter os altos padrões incutidos em mim pelo meu Sensei e os altos padrões que o Budokan representa. É meu objetivo tentar ajudar os alunos que eu treino a serem o melhor que podem ser, enquanto o tempo todo tento melhorar continuamente. Sempre o aluno!

NOSSA LINHAGEM Mike showing Pinan Sandan Group Pinan Sandan Mike training in Seisan Paul training in Pinan Sandan 6 RULES FOR OIZUKI CHUDAN FROM SHIZEN DACHI HEIKO Mike Clapham 5 Dan Karate The Stance - Dachi Stand with you feet together. Keeping heels together open both feet out to 45º Move both heels out square. Open both feet out again to 45º This is the Shizen Dachi Heiko stance. Starting from the waist down. First slightly splay the knees to put tension in the upper and lower leg muscles and to push the outer edges of your feet - the sokuto - into the floor using your ankles and also grip the floor with your toes. This gives your punch a strong base to support it. A strong punch without a good base will be ineffective. The Fist - Seiken You begin to do this by curling your fingers into your palm. Start with your little finger first and then finally by wrapping your thumb across the index and middle fingers tightly because when you strike you want to be able hit with the first two knuckles of these fingers. It is the little finger and the thumb that construct an ideal rock like fist that does not collapse upon impact. (If your wrist is bent slightly upward or downward this will result in a weak punch and on contact, possible damage to your wrist) The Posture - Shisei Stand upright with your shoulders relaxed, bring your arms into the ready position at your side so the fists are facing palms up and level with your solar plexus and your arms are tight to the side of your body. To prepare yourself extend your left arm out straight in front of you as if you've just punched. Your palm should be facing downward horizontally aligned with your solar plexus and vertically with the midline of your body - your spine. The Punch - Zuki This is the form that you want to replicate with every punch you make. In this position your first punch will be using the right arm positioned against your ribs in line with the solar plexus. Sightly flick your right hip in an anti-clockwise direction which is the trigger that initiates the punch. Immediately the hips move the punch follows extending your right arm in relaxed reflex action towards the outstretched left fist. The palm remains facing upward for most of its projection. As the punch is in its last 12 to 15cms you start to rotate it through 180 degrees to replace your left first which you now need to be pulling back very quickly so that both fists come to a stop at exactly the same time. The fast pulling back of the left first gives added impetus and power to the punching right fist. Breathing - Kokyu Correct breathing is vital to a strong attack and to its intention. Take a short breath into your lower abdomen before the punch and then expel the air so that your out breath and punch both stop at the same time. In the final second as your punch hits its target there should be tension from your toes up followed by immediate relaxation of the muscles whilst keeping the form of the movement. Keep your mind focussed here and get ready for the next punch. Common mistakes to be avoided: Make sure you don't rotate your fist too early. Make sure that the punch moves in a straight line from its start position to its finish position. This is done by making sure that as the arm is moving through its direction of travel it stays in contact and is not allowed to float away from your body distorting its aim.

RAY RYAN RAYMOND EDWARD RYAN Nascido em 1 de julho de 1936 Joanesburgo – África do Sul Faleceu em 13 de novembro de 1989 – Durban - África do Sul Ray começou seu treinamento de karatê com Shukokai, onde se juntou a Richard Salmon. Em 1963, Richard Salmon e Ray Ryan abriram um dojo em Sarnia, Durban, chamado Budokan. Eles adquiriram um terreno em Westville, África do Sul e com a ajuda de seus alunos construíram um dojo ali que foi o primeiro Budokan Honbu. Em 1965/66, Hanshi Chojiro Tani, veio para a África do Sul e muitos dos karatecas do Budokan tiveram a grande sorte de serem treinados por ele. Sua visita foi seguida por Seiichi Fugiwara, Instrutor Chefe do Departamento de Ensino da WKU (Gōjū-ryū) e mais tarde também Shigeru Kimura Shukokai Hombu dojo. Richard Salmon foi classificado para Sandan em Shukokai Karate por Chojiro Tani. Em 1967, Richard Salmon Ray Ryan foi para o Japão, onde treinaram no Gōgen Yamaguchi karate-dō dojo em Nippori, Tóquio Japão. Na foto abaixo, Richard Salmon e Ray Ryan são vistos com Chojiro Tani (ajoelhado à esquerda), Gosen Yamaguchi (ajoelhado no centro), Gosei Yamaguchi (ajoelhado à direita) e Goshi Yamaguchi (em pé à direita). Em 1969, Ray Ryan assumiu o Budokan quando Richard Salmon partiu para iniciar sua Mountain Leadership School. Em 1970, o Budokan foi introduzido na Inglaterra por Daivid Passmore. Em 1974, Ray Ryan e vários karatecas seniores do Budokan foram convidados por Gogen Yamaguchi para treinar em seu novo dojo na sede do Gōjū-kai em Suginami-ku, Tóquio, Japão, próximo ao movimentado distrito comercial de Roppongi. Em 1978, Ray Ryan foi novamente convidado por Gogen Yamaguchi para treinar no Karate College iniciado por ele na sede do Gōjū-kai em Suginami-ku. Mais uma vez, vários karatecas seniores se juntaram a ele nesta viagem. Os convidados a treinar na faculdade de Karate são vistos aqui retratados com Gogen Hamaguchi (sentado na frente central) e Wakako Yamaguchi (segundo traseiro esquerdo). Na viagem de 1978, o karateka do Budokan também teve a grande sorte de treinar com Chojiro Tani. Ele está ajoelhado na frente central. Em 1979 Chojiro Tani e Shigeru Kimura retornaram à África do Sul e os membros do Budokan foram novamente convidados a treinar com eles. Isso foi organizado por Edwin Ward de Shukukai e aconteceu na Radio House em Durban.

www.budokanworld.com is the home of Budokan -The House of Martial Ways - a classical Japanese Budo organisation since 1960. BUDOKÃO 1960 - 2022 STRONG IN HAND. KIND IN HEART. 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. They are first and foremost spiritual disciplines, whose ultimate goal, achieved through the most rigorous mental and physical training, is self-realization in the tradition of Zen Buddhism . Donn F. Draeger Classical Budo December Workshop 05/12/26 We would like to invite you to the December workshop, to be held at Lymington Health & Leisure Centre on December 5th between 2:00 and 4:30pm. Please bring Bokken and Iaito if you have one. Training fees are £15. There will be the usual drinks and food available after training at the Chequers Inn, vegetable Curry or Beef Chilli at £11 per head. To reserve your meal please let us know in advance if you will be attending so we can get an idea of numbers. It will be good to catch up with everyone. Please send payments in advance to the Budokan UK account. The Chequers Inn, Ridgeway Ln, Lower Woodside, Lymington SO41 8AH Lymington Health & Leisure Centre, North Street, Pennington, Lymington, SO41 8FZ Katy Passmore Memorial Event Katy Passmore Memorial event took place recently under the watchful eye of her sister Jo, 2 of Saisho's children, Caroline and Tilly along with grandkids, Eve and Josh. Most Budokan members have seen Katy at the dojo taking the pictures and hoping not appearing in the 'The Funnies' at the end of the year. Katy also assisted in the creation and running of the website for Saisho. Before this Katy participated on the mat, briefly, until Saisho ask her to do roly polyies (read ukemi). Katy's words, not mine. The event was opened by Sensei Darren Waghorne who performed a spirit cleansing kata. This kata is used to displel the evil/negative spirits lurking in the dojo. Sensei Peter Bush kicked off the event by using karate as a Misogi (禊 ). Misogi is an ancient ritual that purifies both body and soul rooted in Shinto. The main intention of the misogi is to break the self-limiting beliefs we carry around, and tap into hidden potential we didn't realize we have. Pushes, blocks and a kick were used in this section. Started with punching then adding blocks, body movement and a kick. Started simply and added on from there. Long time friend of Saisho and Katy Sensei Dave Ansell, Nanadan Kyoshi took the a session of iaido. Over the past few years the ZNKR have been looking at the first 4 seitei katas to enable them to be done from a standing position. Altough there is no formal standardisation at the moment Sensei went through these ensuring that the 4 basic elements of iaido, namely nukitsuke, furikaburi, kirioroshi & noto were adhered to correctly. Sensei continued and chose a couple of Muso Shinden Okuden Tachi Waza katas to end his time. Sensei Mike Clapham took the final session of the day and chose to practiced Kosokonshiho kata. The kata was chosen because although its quite a long kata it's full of basics and most people hadn't done it before. Sensei was surprised at how quickly everyone managed to pick it up, which was great as it provided him with the opportunity to pick out some of the trickier moves to focus more attention on ie stances posture and timing. The feet of a Passmore graced the mat once more in the guise of Tilly and her son Josh. Not the first time Tilly was on the mat at Budokan, it was for Josh. Throughout their time on the mat they were supervised by Sensei Darren Waghorne. This included iaido with bokken. During the final session Sensei, instead of potentially getting lost in the kata, took them both trough some further karate basics including using himself as a punching bag. Afterwards Sensei Darren said "it was great to be hit by a Passmore again!" After the seminar, and continuing the tradition, all adjourned to a pub, The Chequers Inn for some food and drink Katy Passmore In Memorandum It is with the utmost sadness that we announce the passing of Katy Passmore, on November 30th 2025. For the last few months Katy has been battling a illness, which led to complications with her treatment. She passed away peacefully at Oakhaven Hospice, in the company of her family. It goes without saying that Katy was much loved and highly respected, not only within Budokan, but by all who knew her in the wider community. She will be greatly missed. Katy's funeral will take place on Friday January 9th at 12:00 at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 11 Park Ln, Milford on Sea, Lymington SO41 0PT. Following the service, Katy will be buried with Hanshi at New Milton, Milford Road Cemetery BH25 6PN. All are invited. It was Katy's wish that people wear bright clothing. Any flowers you may wish to bring can be presented at the cemetery, cards of sympathy handed personally to family members. DAVID PETER PASSMORE 16.04.46 - 23.10.24 A very honourable time was had at the Flag Ceremony, with the help of Sensei Dave Ansell, Sensei Joe Bracone, Sensei Mike Clapham. Hanshi Passmore would have been delighted in the attention and due diligence that what shown by all. Budokan Flag Ceremony on 21st June Sensei David Ansell – Iaido Dave Ansell started Iaido and Kendo with Vic Cook of the British Kendo Association in 1976, 2 years before Sensei Passmore started iaido. Dave has been fortunate to have trained in Japan for many years and he tries to make annual visits to his teacher, Hanshi Ichimura of the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai. He has had the pleasure in demonstrating in the Butokuden, the foremost martial art hall in Japan, in the presence of members of the Japanese Royal family. Dave has had the honour of represented the United Kingdom at international events across America and Europe, including the 1st European Iaido Championships held in Sittard, Netherlands 1993. Currently, Dave holds the grade of Nandan in iaido with the title of Kyoshi and Yondan kendo with the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai. He was also a great friend to Hanshi Passmore. Sensei Joe Braconi – Kobudo Joe Braconi started studying Tenshinkan Karate in 2000 under the guidance of Hanshi Hans Haupt, Chief Liaison Officer for the Western World, in South Africa. In 2006, he participated to a 7 days international seminar in Hasuda-Shi (Japan) at the HQ of Tenshinkan Karate Federation, conducted by Kancho Mamoru Miwa. In 2006, he commenced studying kobujutsu with Ryukyu Kobujutsu Hozon Shinkokai (Eisuke Akamine branch) led by Sensei Marius Madgwick in Boksburg. In 2009, Hanshi Hans Haupt personally trained him on Ryukyu Kobubujutsu Hozon Shinkokai (Inoue Motokatsu branch) and continued training under his guidance and under the Tenshinkan Ryukyu Kobujutsu standards, new and more attractive syllabus. In 2009 he was appointed Tenshinkan Benoni Honbu Dojo Deputy Chief Instructor and taught Karate and kobujutsu until he left South Africa in 2014. He attended international seminars held by Kancho Mamoru Miwa in Denmark and South Africa in 2013 and 2016 respectively. He published a book Karate for over 40, its benefits, he took part to numerous regional, national and international championships placing himself in the top 3 places in kumite and kata. He is a keen adept of Goshin-Jutsu and developed self-defence training for non-martial artists and introduced disarmament of firearms in their training. He provided many free self-defence seminars. He graduated Tenshinkan Karate 5th dan in 2017 in Dundee UK and given the title of Shihan Dai, He joined Budokan 2021 and, while he is still teaching Kobudo and Karate, he is writing a book about the application of the various Sabaki concepts in Tenshinkan karate. In January 2023 he was invited to join the Budokan Shihankai, assuming the title of Shihan. On 25 June 2023 he was accredited with his Rokudan Karate by the Budokan Shihankai for certification later in the year. 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. Please keep an eye on the website for any updates, emails will be sent confirming dates and weapon requirements for each session.

And who better to start this section off, but our good friend of over 35 years now - Kyoshi David Ansell 7 Dan or Chichidan. He accompanied a Budokan team to kyoto in 2008 where we all took part in a World Butokusai staying in a beautiful hotel overlooking this magnificent city. Saisho and Kyoshi Ansell shared a room for 2 weeks and they are still friends to this day. As you will find elsewhere on this site David Ansell helped to host a traditional Open Japanese event with Budokan in Buxton 2011, which was a great success.

BEM-VINDO A INICIANTES E VISITANTES SEISHIN DOJO Eu pratiquei artes marciais quando muito jovem, mas nunca entrei nisso até me cansar de apenas empurrar pesos e outras atividades de ginástica. Eu finalmente me juntei ao Tenshinkan Karate quando eu tinha 40 anos e nunca mais olhei para trás. Tive a sorte de aprender karate e mais tarde kobujutsu com Hanshi Hans Haupt 9º Dan Karate e 4º Dan Ryukyu Kobujutsu Hozon Shinko Kai obtido com o grão-mestre Inoue Motokatsu e fundador do Tenshinkan Ryukyu Kobujutsu). Saí como vice-instrutor-chefe do Tenshinkan Honbu Dojo da África do Sul. Eu ganhei cores de estilo sul-africano nacionais e provinciais para Kumite e Kata por muitos anos e graduei no Japão com Kancho Mamoru Miwa, Fundador do Tenshinkan Karatedo e ávido mestre de Budo. As disciplinas que leciono: O Karate Tenshinkan é uma ramificação do Karate Shotokan como foi ensinado por Gichin Funakoshi. Mestre Gichin Funakoshi costumava se dirigir a Kancho Mamoru Miwa, então um menino, “Tenshin” (o sincero), daí o nome de Tenshinkan. O Karate Tenshinkan embora mantenha raízes muito fortes com katas e posturas Shotokan, é um estilo de karate focado na defesa e ataque com a inclusão de goshin-jutsu, autodefesa, técnicas como grappling, joint locks e take downs. O estilo é muito dinâmico e eficaz, é baseado e desenvolvido em diferentes sabaki (evasão ou esquiva) e combinação múltipla de footwork com técnicas de bloqueio e golpe. Cada treinamento e teste de grau ou faixa (Kyu) é baseado em um programa que incorpora karate e kata Goshin-jJtsu predefinidos e técnicas transmitidas através da aplicação de métodos de treinamento específicos. O Tenshinkan Ryukyu Kobujutsu foi fundado por Hanshi Hans Haupt para homenagear seu Sensei. Ambos treinaram e se classificaram com Ryukyu Kobujutsu Hozon Shinko Kai Mestre Inoue Motokatsu, que por sua vez treinou com o fundador do RKHSK Taira Shinken. Para cada faixa (kyu), o aluno aprende os kata e as técnicas básicas de ataque e defesa de cada arma que compõem o programa de artes marciais como: Bo (bastão de seis pés), Nunchaku (semelhante a um mangual), Tekko (semelhante a para espanadores), Tonfa (semelhante ao bastão de polícia), Kama (semelhante a uma foice), Sai (semelhante a uma adaga de aparar do século XVI) e Katana (famosa espada de Samurai). FURTHER TRAINING NOTES I have practiced martial arts as a very young man but never got into it until I have gotten bored with just pushing weights and other gym activities. I finally joined Tenshinkan Karate when I was 40 and never looked back. I was fortunate enough to learn karate and later kobujutsu from Hanshi Hans Haupt 9th Dan Karate and 4th Dan Ryukyu Kobujutsu Hozon Shinko Kai obtained with grand master Inoue Motokatsu and founder of Tenshinkan Ryukyu Kobujutsu). I left as South Africa Tenshinkan Honbu Dojo deputy Chief Instructor. I have gained national and provincial South African style colours for Kumite and Kata for many years and graded in Japan with Kancho Mamoru Miwa, Tenshinkan Karatedo Founder and avid Budo master. The disciplines I Teach: Tenshinkan Karate is an offshoot of Shotokan karate as was taught by Gichin Funakoshi. Master Gichin Funakoshi used to address Kancho Mamoru Miwa, then a young boy, “Tenshin” (the sincere one) hence the name of Tenshinkan. Tenshinkan Karate although retains very strong roots with Shotokan katas and stances it is a karate style focused on defense and attack with the inclusion of goshin-jutsu, self-defence, techniques such as grappling, joint locks and take downs. The style is very dynamic and effective, it is based and developed on different sabaki (evasion or avoidance) and multiple combination of footwork with blocking and striking techniques. Each grade or belt (Kyu) training and test is based on a syllabus that incorporates predefined karate and Goshin-jJtsu kata and techniques imparted through the application of specific training methods. Tenshinkan Ryukyu Kobujutsu was founded by Hanshi Hans Haupt to honour his Sensei. Both trained and graded with Ryukyu Kobujutsu Hozon Shinko Kai Master Inoue Motokatsu, who in turn had trained with the RKHSK founder Taira Shinken. For each belt (kyu), the student learns the kata and basics techniques of attack and defence of each weapon that make up the martial art syllabus such as: Bo (six foot staff), Nunchaku (similar to a flail), Tekko (similar to knuckle dusters), Tonfa (similar to police baton), Kama (similar to a sickle), Sai (similar to a 16th century parring dagger) and Katana (famous Samurai’s sword). This a picture of the entrance to my home Dojo.

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.

TREVOR HUGHES FULL BIOGRAPHY TO FOLLOW I was very saddened to hear of the tragic passing of Trevor. I have trained with him on several occasions over the years, although I did not know him as well as more senior members of the club, he left a big impression on me. I wish to send my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. My thoughts are with them during this difficult time. Keith Molyneux and condolences from Fiona. Jan and l were very saddened to hear the news of Trevor and would like to convey our sincere condolences to his family. Mike and Jan Clapham Trevor was a hugely popular Dan Grade in Budokan and especially in Kent and Sussex. Here's why by his best friend Peter Robinson. It it is tremendous loss for me and Trevor’s family and friends that he is no longer with us. It has hit me very hard as Trevor was, and always will be, my best friend. We shared so many adventures together and it was a pleasure and an absolute privilege to have him as a friend over the years. As well as enjoying hours of training with him, I was lucky enough to enjoy his close friendship off the mat. It wasn’t obvious to most, but Trevor had a great sense of adventure and it makes me smile when I think of the things we did together. Like the time I bought an old mustard-coloured Sherpa Van with a pop-up roof, and we excitedly made plans to drive down through Africa to Cape Town! Sadly, Stan the Van wasn’t up to the trip (it only cost me £500!) and we only made it as far as south Morocco. Lots of adventures on the way though, but even Trevor’s skill with anything mechanical couldn’t sort out Stanley’s problems. We limped home, laughing and giggling all the way with Trevor sporting a hair cut which I did myself using clippers plugged into a generator we took as part of our gear. Or the time we decided to climb Snowdon, off-season, in our jeans - not having a clue about mountain climbing. We’d nearly lost our tent in the wind the night before and we were both tired from lack of sleep but, after waking ourselves up with a refreshing wash in a mountain stream, up we went, not bothering with any of the accepted routes. Disaster! We got lost near the top, spotted a path some 200 feet below us and had to inch ourselves, on our backsides, slowly down an steep rock face, clinging on to every odd tuft of grass to keep in control. We were both scared and upset but we had a laugh about it afterwards in 'Pete’s Eats' in Llanberis, which subsequently had, and may still have, a photo of Trevor washing his hair in a mountain lake. For your information, we did make it to the top that day. I could go on and on about our special times together, and when Trevor made the decision to go to Thailand, I rang him every day on my way to work. Now, when I get to Clapham Junction where I change trains, those nine minutes between 8.32 and 8.43 are completely empty and sad. Nine minutes never seemed long enough when I had to finish the call - now it’s the longest nine minutes of my working day. We shared many years of a close friendship. Trevor was always there for me - and, I’m sure, for others, too. He was great company, always ready to listen, never judgemental and a truly special person He leaves behind so many people who thought the world of him, but please let me assure you all: His journey didn’t stop at Thailand, he’s still going strong somewhere - quietly and confidently - and I know that, someday, we’ll meet up again and continue our adventures together. God Bless you Trevor and thank you for your friendship. Peter Robinson To all at Bodakan From Sam Hughes I would like to say what a lovely tribute to Dad aka Trevor it means a lot that you all have done that for him and I know that it will mean a lot to him to. He held you all in his heart and thought the world of you all and he (and myself) have some fantastic memory's from his Bodakan days that he still always talked about even going back to the old "strides" days you all played an important part of dads life and we all really appreciate this tribute. Many Thanks Sam

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.
