Finally, an update!!!! It has been well over a year since we have seen any updates..... a lot has changed since then.... a trip to Okinawa, a new professional career, and a new black belt in our Dojo, Wow! A special mention to Sempai Jeff Campbell on his promotion to Shodan at last year's summer camp. Jeff Sempai has been a member of our Dojo since the early 90's. Gambette Jeff-san.

Currently, the Dojo is putting the finishing touches on plans for its 25th annual summer camp.... yes I did say number 25!

I just received news from Okinawa that YAGI, Akihiro Sensei and his wife Chisato-san have been blessed with the arrival of a new baby boy, named Meisin. This is the couple's third child. From all of us at MKD, Congratulations! Also on the international front, YAGI, Akihito Sensei just arrived home after a month of seminars on the North American Continent. The highlight of his North American visit was to host a Memorial Tournament in his Grand Father's honour in Modesto, California.

April 12th, will be the next schedule kids grading. Please if you are eligible for this test, make an effort to get to class as much as possible! Remember practice makes permanent!

For you social media junkies out there, you can find us on both Facebook and Twitter.

What a trip down memory lane it was the weekend of the 28th of January 2013 in London, Ontario. It was such an honour to share the floor with so many great people to support a fellow Budoka. Hard training and great memories, stories, etc. made the day very special. Thanks to everyone that attended! Let make sure we all try to keep in touch! 


This photo appeared in a famous Martial Arts Magazine in the early 70's. Meitoku Sensei did a photo shoot displaying many of the Gojyu-ryu forms on that day. The location of the shoot was in Kume at the former Meibukan Hombu Dojo prior to the present day structure. The Dojo was rebuilt in the early 80's. Please note the Dojo Kun in the background. Miyagi Sensei had a friend commission a calligraphy for Meitoku Sensei to celebrate the opening of his Dojo in 1952.
