Godorenshu, April. 2006

Contributor: Toronto Branch Master John McCulloch

Kenshi from all the Shorinji Kempo Ontario Branches gathered at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre on Sunday April 30 for a Godorenshu hosted by North York Branch.

After a warm-up and group kihon (basics) training, the kenshi worked on goho techniques and randori ("sparring") while wearing bogu (body armor). This type of equipment allows full force counters to the body and shows clearly any deficiencies in distance, timing or accuracy.

Following the goho training, the kenshi split into groups to focus on technique practice according to rank.

Kyu gradings for adults and children were also held. Ron & Zev of North York Branch were successful in their 5th kyu exam and Eduardo of Toronto Branch was successful in his grading for 2nd kyu.

Many thanks to North York Branch for hosting this event.
