【Report】Zen + Karate Experience Program (FAM Tour for Hong Kong Educational Trip)

The Okinawa Tourism Convention Bureau (OCVB) introduced us to a group of 10 people from the Hong Kong Educational Trip FAM Tour, and today the group participated in our “Zen + Karate” program at the Shuri Kannondo Temple.
The program was restricted to an hour from 6:30am to 7:30am because of their flight schedule. After enjoying the Zen and Karate, the group then enjoyed taking many photos. They were able to have a unique cultural experience, an experience unlike any we have offered to other School Educational trips to Okinawa in the past. We will continue to offer karate experiences in various ways to everyone, Karate pratitioner or not, visiting Okinawa.

The 1st Okinawan Traditional Karate and Kobudo Charity Demonstration on December 8th

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.
