Isshin Ryu Club

The organization continues to enhance the quality of life of its participants through education and recreational activities for the entire family. The students acquire skills during class and attend championship tournaments to showcase their skills. Students have won 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and grand championships. The organization promotes students from white to black belts which takes over 5 years of training. Due to covid restrictions starting in march 2020, the programs had to be modified to follow cdc guidelines and state and federal mandates. Isshin Ryu and the city of albuquerque provided a community clean up to assist residents in disposing any trash and large items around their home to ensure they have a safe and clean environment. Isshin Ryu Club has been a sponsor of the national night out for over 30 years providing community events. This year, due to covid, they had a drive through for the community. The organization gave away gloves, masks, sanitizers, and t-shirts to community residents. Isshin Ryu and the city of albuquerque came together to provide kirtland community with a free "little library". The first lady of albuquerque and community residents attended the dedication. The organization received request from community residents seeking services from donations for personal need to include hair cuts and assisting with food during the holidays. When covid pandemic is safe and community centers or similar programs reopen Isshin Ryu will restart its regular programming.
