First anniversary of the establishment

Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu Setagaya Branch celebrated its first anniversary of the establishment today.

During the past year, there was a headwind of the Covid-19, but we were able to get the dojo management on track with the newly added students, and continue to practice stably without any injuries or accidents. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Kondo Katsuyuki Somucho (General Affairs Director), Kondo Masayuki Hombucho (Headquarters Director), Hasegawa Sumie Hombucho-hosa (Assistant to Headquarters Director), the students of each branch, Sakuragaoka-Bunka-Kyoshitsu, Setagaya City staffs and the families who sent us to the dojo.

The first anniversary is a memorable milestone, but I believe it is just the beginning of a long-term journey. I would like to continue to work hard together with my students and grow as the dojo develops. Your continued support would be highly appreciated.
