We’ll be having our annual Dojo New Years Opening and Celebration party on February 11th this year. We’re having it a little later this year because of Chinese New Year falling in January. As is usual this will involve practice, the awards ceremony for those who have passed their grading and finally the mochi making ceremony and party afterwards.
Details to follow.
[We have a report from Scott Smith who was fortunate enough to spend some time travelling for the last few months. He sent us this email which I've posted under his name - Paul]
Attached are some pics from the club I have been practicing at these last 5 weeks or so in NY at the Oishi Judo Club – here is the website: http://www.oishi-judo.com/. Oishi Sensei (see attached pic) has run his club in NY since the 1960s.
The first half hour of each training session is spent on Ju No Kata with the remainder of the session on uchi-komi, ne waza and then randori.

Mr Kobayashi has recently been promoted at work and will be returning to Tokyo in early November.
While we are happy with his about his promotion, he will be sorely missed as he has been a solid contributor in the club for 6 years. He has unstintingly given his time to teach both the adults and the kids regularily.
We will be having a farewell dinner party on Saturday, October 29th. If you can make it, please email us and let us know that you will be attending. Also, if you can come to the practice before hand, you’ll have one last chance to show what you’ve learned from him during randori.
If you are unable to make it, and would like to say “thanks”, email us and we’ll forward your message to him.
We are in the process of migrating over the old site to the new hosting provider.
The new and improved Hong Kong Judo Kan website will be back soon.
