We are taking a break see you in 2026

St Ives Easter Course was founded by Major Mike O’Neill in 1963 and is still going strong 60 years later.

We would like to send a huge thank you to all those who supported the Easter Course over the years and particularly this year.

A lot of sponsorship was pledged to the benefit of all those who were on the mat with our fabulous guest instructor Musashi Ebinuma and his wife Kana.
It really was a great weekend.

Following on from the course we were given the news that St Ives Guildhall is being renovated and will be closed for two years. We immediately started seeking an alternative venue but we have not found anywhere that is both suitable and affordable.

We have met this last week and come to the difficult decision to put the Easter Course on hold for two years. So, regrettably, there will not be an Easter Course in 2024 or 2025.

We hope to come back with a revitalised event in 2026.

2023 Thank You – Ebinuma

Ebinuma Masashi was the Guest Coach for St Ives 2023. Ebinuma is a triple world champion, having won in 2011, 2013 and 2014. A dominant force in -66kg weight group, he was ranked first in the world for three years. He is regarded as an ultimate stylist of seoi nage. He is also known for being a quadruple All-Japan National Champion. Ebinuma won bronze medals at the 2012 Olympics and the 2016 Olympics.
