No classes today. February 4th, 2025

Attention Kenukan Academy Students: Sensei Boggs has worked with Fuji Gi to create the “Bushidokan® Classic Judo Gi”. The front of the Gi has the Bushidokan Mon (crest) that Sensei Harrison used for his patch from 1964-1969. The back of the Gi has the Bushidokan Logo that was created in 1969 and became famous during the 1970’s. Both logos are high quality woven patches that are made to withstand rigorous training.

In addition, we have also created a Kenukan-Bushidokan Rashguard that can worn during No-Gi Grappling workouts and competitions.

For any students that are interested in purchasing Gis, Rashguards, or Patches, message us or talk to Mrs. Boggs (Destiny) at the front desk ⛩️
