🌿 Our Eco-Friendly Sensory Garden Is Coming to Life! 🌿

Our organic, eco-friendly sensory garden is slowly taking shape — and we’re doing everything we can to protect all our tiny neighbours who call it home!

🐸 A very polite frog tried to join class this week!
We found him patiently waiting right outside the dojo door… clearly eager to practice his froggy footwork! He was still sitting there when we finished — absolutely adorable.

🦔 Rosey the hedgehog is doing brilliantly.
After we rescued her, the wonderful team at the Solihull Hedgehog Rescue Centre took great care of her. We’re so grateful for their kindness.

🐍🐝 And of course, we can’t forget our precious slow worms, bees, and the solitary bees living safely in the embankment.
Goodness me — so many little lives to protect!

Every day, our garden reminds us that nature thrives when we look after it gently. Thank you to everyone supporting this beautiful, calming space. More updates (and cute visitors!) coming soon. 💚🌱

West Midlands Iaido Seminar – A Wonderful Success! ✨

What a fantastic weekend in Birmingham at the West Midlands Iaido Seminar! The atmosphere was full of warmth, respect, and true camaraderie between teachers and students alike.

It is always so powerful to see the spirit of Iaido shared across all levels and abilities. A special thank you to the incredible individuals with disabilities who trained with such focus and determination—you were truly inspirational.

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, supported, and helped make this another memorable and uplifting event. Together, we continue to learn, grow, and inspire. 🙏🥋

Thank you to all students who attempted the grading from around the country - well done! Also, to Masamune students who all passed in Ikkyu, Shodan, Nidan, Sandan and Yondan - very proud of you all!
