My son is really enthusiastic about Aikido and always looks forward to his Wednesday sessions. He enjoys interacting with interesting people and has gained much confidence by practicing this martial art.

Since I have started Shinji Budo Kai, my fitness levels have improved. The rhythm of the sessions has contributed to increasing my metabolism and improved my muscle tone. I am also left with a sense of well-being that lasts for the rest of the week. Aikido is really empowering and clearly has a positive impact on my everyday life.

_______________________________________________________________________ My son really enjoys coming to Judo every Monday, it has taught him discipline and Ray achieves great respect from all his pupils with humour and understanding. I am really pleased with what my son has achieved in his classes

_______________________________________________________________________ My granddaughter thoroughly enjoys her Judo sessions. Starting a new activity in your teen’s, especially a physical one, can be quite daunting, but the warmth and friendliness of the club enabled her to settle immediately. Her confidence and mobility have improved and her levels of concentration are definitely better. My thanks to Ray and the club for encouraging self-discipline and respect for all.

______________________________________________________________________ My daughter has changed from being a timid little girl onto a confident decision making child. She adores Ray, everything he says goes! She loves Judo with the rough and tumble, whilst also learning Japanese! My daughter has shown a true love for this sport. Watch out for the Olympics!!

______________________________________________________________________ A little over two years ago my phone rang….It was Ray on the other end saying that he to take over the running of Ronindo and start a professional company using Ronindo as a sort of spring board, and that Ray was resigning from his job at Comet to set the whole thing up. (Great idea I thought, but is the man mad or what?) A short time on and I sit each Friday at Totnes and watch in awe of how the club has changed. We used to have some very “Prima Dona” players and equally “Prima Dona” parents, all gone! So what are we left with? Happily a completely new membership who are on the mat for a very enjoyable time, learning what I have always believed to be one of the greatest sports of all time and we don’t have a single player thinking they are better than anyone else! I like that! Not that I would put former players down too hard, our record of achievement over the years speaks for it’s self. Just have a look in the Ronindo scrapbook (on the desk every Friday) to see for yourself. With nearly thirty years experience and involvement in Judo I honestly believe our club is on the way up again, after a couple of years of draught. Thanks to Ray’s driving force and ambition to be a professional coach and his belief in success. Nothing succeeds like success and it’s thanks also to the players and all you parents for supporting us every Friday night and when Danny has turned up, he puts in his knowledge that only comes from worldwide expertise. For now I can only say I’m proud to be part of the organisation and thank my fellow committee members for their help, and wish Ray the very best for what I’m sure is going to be a bright future. Good luck Roger (Chairman Ronindo Judo Kai)
