We’d like to wish all our Muslim friends and families Ramadhan al-Mubarak. May we all stay strong in carrying out this pillar of Islam.
I’d like to inform all the Academy’s students that training IS AS USUAL except for Pasir Gudang, Johor. Students of the Pasir Gudang branch are invited to train at our Honbu in Skudai.
We plan to have ifthar (Break fast) & perform salat al tarawih (تراويح) and witr (وتر) together at the dojo, before resuming our training.

(Editor’s comment : If our Prophet S.A.W can fight the battle of Badr while fasting… how can we say we are too weary for some friendly training

On the 6th of June 2009, the Academy organized what is hoped to be the first of many, Funakoshi Gichin O’Sensei Memorial Gassuku. The gassuku was hosted by the Academy’s new dojo SHOTO CENTRE JOHOR, it’s main dojo in the state of Johor.
Azlimmi Sensei invited long time friend and sempai, Ridzuan Md. Zain Sensei, 5th Dan of the Shotoshinkai, to lead the gassuku. Both both of them were former members of Kanazawa Sensei’s SKIF Malaysia affiliate, Kanazawa-Ryu Shotokan Karate Association (Kuala Lumpur).
The day long gassuku was divided into three sessions, each lasting a little over 1.5 hour. The first session focused on kihon, with Ridzuan sensei fine tuning the participants’ techniques. The second session saw Ridzuan sensei taking the participants through the steps Heian Nidan kata and was completed in the third session when he explained the bunkai to the kata.
Although the gassuku was easygoing without anybody experiencing any bruises, it was an important milestone for the Academy’s. It is hoped that the gassuku will be made into an annual event.
On the previous night, a grading session was also conducted attended by the Academy’s students from Melaka and Johor.
