Rivonia Dojo academy reflect on their 2023 year
Ho challenges all the RKC members to make 2024 their best year of focused growth through more training, whilst still having lots of fun.
The RKC Dojo has had an exciting 2023 year with consistent training that has been the norm for the students and sensei.
Throughout the year, they had some amazing experiences.
Warren HO, head Sensei of the RKC Dojo, said 2023 has yet again been a busy year, both for the dojo and for him.
“As a dojo, we experienced unprecedented growth in our membership base in all three disciplines of Kendo, Laido, and Jodo. I think this is because more people are becoming more aware of the benefits that doing martial arts can have in their lives.”
He added that it increases one’s fitness, improvements in focus, and inspiration to become a better version of themselves, which has been the tagline benefit of doing the martial arts at the RKC Dojo.
“Our dojo also has three foundation principles that we abide by and that I think many visitors, who eventually become members, find appealing: focus, fun, and family.”
Ho explains that their training during the year was constant, with hardly any days that were missed.
“We truly are focused on our training; we also try to incorporate fun both in and outside the dojo. Lastly, we cultivate a family-like environment that welcomes everyone.”
Ho highlighted that they had several members travelling to China, France, Germany, Japan, Mauritius, Switzerland, and the UK to train, grade, and compete.
“We also had a handful of international visitors come and train with us at the dojo. All this international experience has further added to the growth and development of our members.”
He concluded by stating that, as busy and exciting as 2023 was, he thinks 2024, their 9th year operating as a dojo, will be an even busier and even more exciting one.
