Our very first Dojo in Barrack Street

The very first own dojo we had in Barrack Street at the Pomme d'or. Was a great place and just enough room to have a session with 6 of us. Than Ichinen Bridport was beside the local Judo club the only martial arts school in Bridport. Although today we have several martial art clubs in our town, there is still no central dojo. Would be great to have a place under one roof and train all the different styles together. I publish this post with the date 1993 the photo was taken to create a bit of a timeline and history for Ichinen Bridport.

That's how it all started

1991 I run my martial arts school "SDS Bremen" in the town of Bremen / Germany and then it was that I decided to move my activities over to the United Kingdom. The logo has not changed much since than. It is still the roof, open to the top, the Yin and Yang symbol and the wave on the bottom.

The oldest poster showing the direction towards UK


That was the first logo of Ichinen
