Tournaments

Visit the Tsuruoka Canadian Budokai events page for the latest information on the August Tsuruoka Tournament. The new location is in lieu of the usual CNE tournament where we can no longer secure space, and is for Tsuruoka clubs only.

Tsuruoka Sensei expects all Tsuruoka Ontario clubs, on pain of torture and death, to participate in some way - compete, officiate, etc. etc. A full slate of events, categories, ages, etc. will be available. More details? Phone the Tsuruoka Canadian Budokai and ask for Henry.

The first Tsuruoka National Tournament will be held this autumn over the Thanksgiving weekend in Halifax under the aegis of Sensei Ron Fagan. There will be competition categories for virtually everyone of all ages. This will really be (we are assured) the very best of east coast hospitality and we hope there will be some representation from every Tsuruoka club in Canada.

NKA Officials Camp

There will be an officials camp Friday August 29^th to Sunday the 31^st.

The Book

The book on Tsuruoka Karate by Andrew Bowerbank is now complete and will be avilable in early August. Copies can be ordered from the Tsuruoka Canadian Budokai.

Promotional Calendars

These can be picked up or mailed from the Tsuruoka Canadian Budokai and the funds can be used to help send competitors to Halifax in October.
