Our Northwest Isshinryu group conducted another Te Jutsu training session at Sensei Mike Osborn’s annual Steve Armstrong Memorial Tournament in Bonney Lake, WA in mid-February 2025. It went well and the participants seemed to enjoy learning our self-defense system that combines karate and Aikido; the emphasis being to control an attacker without causing serious injury.
