June at the Shinzen Dojo

Berlin. June was an eventful month for the Shinzen Dojo and its members.

At the beginning of June, the Corona measures were finally relaxed and in-person classes were possible in the dojo again.

First for the adults, as the number of students here was manageable. Unfortunately, our children must wait a little longer until the restrictions limiting us to a maximum of 10 participants are completely lifted.

We hope that the measures will be completely eased for our children and adolescents by the time the summer holidays are over so that we can train at the dojo again. - Sempai Son

However, we also have two more pleasant pieces of news to share here:

  1. The first exam for adults since September 2020
  2. The first exam for adults since September 2020

The Shinzen Dojo would like to take this opportunity to once again warmly congratulate its students on passing their kyu-grading and of course thanks parents, friends and acquaintances for the organisation. Special thanks this month also go to Sempai Marco for his great support at all Shinzen Dojo events.

Wir schauen an dieser Stelle weiter nach vorne und hoffen, dass sich die Corona-Maßnahmen weiterhin lockern, damit wieder ein Regelbetrieb in beiden Dojos in Steglitz sowie Kreuzberg möglich wird.

Sempai Son would like to take this opportunity to thank the students, parents, and members for their support and trust.

IFK German Open 2026: A first com­pe­ti­tion that remains in memory Black belt

A white belt, his first tournament and straight away an experienced black belt as an opponent: For Victory Ogbonna, the IFK German Open 2026 became a special experience. In Naunhof, the 27-year-old from Shinzen Dojo Berlin competed for the first time in the Kumite +90 kg category. After regular fight time and extra time, he lost by Waza-ari, but showed fighting spirit and got back up after a hard head strike. A first competition, an important experience – and definitely not the last.
