6th Anniversary of the establishment

Today marks the 6th anniversary of the Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu Setagaya Branch. We are able to reach this milestone thanks to the support of everyone involved with the dojo, and as branch chief, I would like to express my sincere gratitude.

Over the past 6 years, we have practiced for over 700 days, with over 60 students including 13 black belts. Supported by the 4 dojo kanjis (senior students), it seems like the dojo is running smoothly. While things may seem smooth sailing at first glance, it’s the result of constant trial and error, steady practice day after day, and the sincere efforts of each student.

Going forward, we will continue to grow this dojo by cherishing a spirit of challenge and inquiry, and by steadily practicing together with students, without ever setting limits to what we can achieve.

“Enrich lives with Budo”

We appreciate your continued support and cooperation.
