Special training on Saturday December 7th, in aid of charity.

For many years, we've held monthly workshops, usually on the first Saturday of the month, and for the last session of the year, we have a tradition of giving back to the community.

This year I'll be joined by two of my oldest friends in the Bujinkan, Alan Butler and Glenn McNevin for a day of training. The proceeds from this will be donated to the mental health charity Aware. There's no fixed charge for this event - participants are encouraged to pay whatever they can afford for the day - €5 is fine, but so is €50.

We don't keep records on who pays what at these events - that's not the point. Each year we pick the charity either based on something that's happening in the world that seems important, or based on a connection someone in the dojo might have to a particular cause.

It's a way of connecting to the community we are all a part of. All are welcome to come along to this. 

There's a Facebook event page here.
