Matsuyama Dojo monthly training

I wanted to provide a quick note of thanks to Tom Johnson sensei for hosting us on Saturday to train Iaido and Kyudo.

It was the first of what we hope to be monthly trips to Pine Mountain to sharpen our skills in both disciplines (COVID-19 restrictions permitting).

For me, it was delightful to reconnect with Kyudo, after having missed out on Rick Beal sensei’s visit in March. It was a grounding and embodied morning spent focussing on the small stuff, and just working on getting protocol and physical action correct.

We are hoping that with regular sessions, we will grow the number of folk practising here in Toowoomba. When we get closer to the end of this month we will put out another reminder to see who might be interested in making the trip down!
