Due to the amount of interest I have received over the last number of months, and the sucessful grading of my first & second junior classes, I have decided to run another new junior beginners class for students aged between 7 and 14 years of age (Subject to Parental Consent).

This is a great age to get children started in Martial Arts and can really help young adults build their confidence, learn some discipline and help improve their overall fitness and ability to look after themselves. 

To improve the compatibility of the Gunndojo forum with the webpage, we have moved from BBPHP, to Fireboard. It is easier to use, and does not require any additional logins. We hope that this will further entice all users to actively participate in the threads, and make it another useful resource for club members.

I am glad to announce that we have found a new training venue for the Dojo.  From Sunday 1st March the Bujinkan Gunn Dojo will be located in the Greenhills Scout Hall, Just off Limekiln Avenue, behind the Traders Pub. 

One more thing.
Soke also said, "I used Kokoro (Heart) at first, but I decided to use Tamashii (Spriit) instead, because I think Tamashii is unchangeable (and therefore essential to the person) while Kokoro changes very often."

 Also

Today, Soke talked about 3 things which are important for a martial artist.  These 3 things may be thought of as a kind of 'Sanshin'.  He said that these things were going to become a bit of a theme for next year.
