On Sunday, March 12, 2023, we held a joint training with Tokyo Horinouchi Dojo members at Komatsubashi Branch Office. About 30 people from Horinouchi Dojo and Fukagawa Dojo gathered　to practice basic training, kata, and kumite.

In kumite practice, we repeatedly practiced quick counterattacks. I felt a sense of tension in practicing with a different opponent than usual. The four hours of practice ended in no time, but I think it was a good opportunity for the dojo members to interact and be stimulated.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Kazama Sensei of Hachioji Dojo and all the dojo students for offering such a valuable opportunity. Let’s continue to work hard together.
