Dynamism
The ju jitsu in our dojo and the style that I want to develop in it is dynamic. That means that with a strong look at the traditions, we can also tend towards the modern aspect of the Art.
A very good teacher once told me: the ju jitsu that we teach now in our schools is different than the one that we used to teach 30 years ago. And that’s how it should be. We need to answer different questions.
The YKR dojo is thriving in these principals. Stay tuned…

Sekiguchi ryu - as my sensei said, it’s a marathon not a race. Embracing all the feelings of studying something new.
I’m grateful to have an excellent teacher, with great experience and knowledge 🙏🏼

We need more skilled teachers and we need more female teachers.

I hope that this will be the start of long journey collaboration.
As part of the vision of our dojo, growth happens with confrontations between different martial artists and martial arts.
There’s always space to learn and there are always layers to add.
