The Gojuryu Karatedo Yoyogi Ryushinkan Dojo is closed October 13 for Health and Sports Day (体育の日), a national holiday in Japan. The holiday was introduced in 1966 to commemorate the first Tokyo Olympic games held 50 years ago, and now takes place on the second Monday of October.
With the Dojo closed, it is recommended that students at least practice some warming-up stretches and loosening exercises at home, and then run through sanchin kata three or more times, initially focusing on posture and form, then abdominal muscle tension and breathing, and finally performing the kata at full strength.
