Congratulations to Pat Couperus and Tracesandra McDonald on their recent promotions.  After four years of training (with breaks for university) Pat received his nikyu (purple belt).   Pat showed he has got what it takes to show all of ones kata, explain the bunkai (application) of the kata, and the guts to last through five kumite (sparring) matches.   Well done!  Just over a year ago, Tracesandra had broken both of her ankles.  After some considerable rehab, Tracesandra started studying Isshinryu this past spring.  She achieved yellow stripes at the end of September and will soon be testing again for rokkyu (yellow belt).  Soon a force to be reckoned with!

Over the weekend of November 11th, 12th and 13th, Thunder Bay played host to a tremendous seminar on traditional Ryukyu Kobudo.

The Seminar was taught by Don Shapland Sensei, one of the first Isshinryu instructors in Canada, who most recently spent 12 years living on Okinawa. Shapland Sensei was kind enough to share not only his knowledge of Ryukyu Kobudo, but also his personal experiences living on Okinawa as they related to the martial arts include proper decorum on Okinawa.
