Eastwind Budo Center
1800 Bank St K0A 1B0 Ottawa, ON, Canada

A great day today, with over 100 participants in the annual DNBK Kagami Baraki Keiko and Ceremony (virtual this year) which spanned the country from coast to co...ast to coast! That is from BC to PEI to NWT and many places in between! This event was to throw out the old (2020) and bring in the new (2021). Thank you to our host Hanshi Ken Tallack, our training Instructors for the day and all the participants! Your effort and spirit to throw out the old and welcome in the new, I’m sure was felt at the Hombu Dojo in Kyoto, Japan!! As per Hanshi Hamada’s message, continue to remain strong in body, mind and spirit, and we will maintain peaceful calmness and resolve with great patience. As someone also said today, waiting is training. Sometimes this is the hardest training of all!

Some of my Dai Nippon Butoku Kai (DNBK) certificates.
