Genbu-Kai Riverside

Now that it has been officially announced, we are saddened to be sharing some unfortunate news.

It's February and you know what that means.....time for the Annual Genbu-Kai Tournament and related activities. This year is a special one since we're celebrating Shihan Demura's 75th Anniversary so be sure to show your support.

WELCOME BACK GENBU-KAI RIVERSIDE!!
Hard to believe that March 12, 2020 was our last in-person karate class before COVID shut us down. Fortunately, we made a quick transition and got up and running virtually with our first class taking place on April 1, 2020. This week -Tuesday July 6th to be exact, marks our return to limited in-person training. We've made it through the first week and while it felt a bit strange heading to the dojo for class for the first time in 15.5 months, it felt like home and the return to a bit of normalcy. While we've seen each other virtually over this past year and a half, have enjoyed the convenience of training from anywhere, nothing beats training in the dojo and seeing everyone in person. For all of those who have been training virtually - hats off to you for making this quick adaption to your training. It hasn't been easy but that act shows your true karate spirit. Here's to the end week one of in-person training. We are still proceeding with caution to maintain everyone's safety but have been looking forward to this week for a long time. Here's to inching closer to normal training times!!
