All United States Kendo Federation (AUSKF) sponsored an educational tour by Onda Sensei, Hachidan (8th Dan), in Miami. In attendance to the seminar were Kato Sensei, Maeda Sensei, and members of the Toku Bu Kan dojo. It was a great learning experience for all who attended and we look forward to more seminars from AUSKF education Tours in the future.
Below are a few photos from the event:
The true winning is not by power, trickery nor anger, because winning using these things will create feeling of revenge or feeling of unhappiness, however wining by true virtue (Toku) is true winning, even your opponent will thank you when defeated by you and respect your quality.
Therefore we are using this Virtue (Toku 徳)for the Dojo’s first kanji, and for the second kanji we use Bu ( 武) as in Budo. And the last kanji is Kan ( 館) as in group.
(徳武館) Tokubukan has a deep meaning and is giving us a goal to strive for.
