We held “The 1st Okinawan Traditional Karate and Kobudo Charity Demonstration” on December 8th at National Theater Okinawa. There were over 200 people who attended, with a portion of ticket sales going to the reconstruction of Shuri Castle.
It was a wonderful event, where 8 locally owned and managed dojos put on a great display. Everyone had a great time not only watching the dojos perform, but also learning some of the secret methods and techniques by a few Senseis like Goju-ryu 9th Dan Tsuneo Kinjo Sensei or Kobudo 9th Dan Hiroshi Akamine.
Check out some of the photos taken at the event.
