Looks like a successful Gasshuku. Humble teaching and learning from each other in beautiful Oahu Hawaii. Wanted to see some Takeuchi ryu jujutsu and iaido. Aloha!

[@AlCloutier]

I'm not authorized to teach Takeuchi-ryu or Iai. I'm just a beginner in those. Thanks for your kind comments. It was a very good event! 😃

Still holding classes on Saturday and Sunday mornings?

[@AlCloutier]

Hi Travis! Yes, we are. I'm traveling at the moment, but my advanced students are teaching while I'm gone. 4 days at sea, en route to Tahiti. I'll be back on the 19th. Hope all is well with you. Stop by any time!

Karate means empty hand, when walking home at night from a party, do you carry a bo , jo or nunchucks, us female karateka in England train our hands, elbows, feet and knees to become lethal weapons to defend our selves against men insisting on preying on women and girls, all females should take up karate and not carry weapons only those that we were born with !❤️🥋...

[@AlCloutier]

It's good to learn traditional weapons. Many of the skills learned can be used with "weapons of opportunity." Those items found on a street. A branch or stick, a chain or belt, practically anything hard can be used as a defensive weapon.
