Dear IOGKF Chief Instructor and Kambukai members,

Okinawan Karate organizations became one!
I just spoke to Higaonna Sensei and he informed me a wonderful news about Okinawan Karate world.

They just decided to have one united organization for all Okinawan Karate early in this month. 

 There used be 4 major karate organizations in Okinawa.  IOGKF was part of Okinawa Karate Kobold Renee.  But now these 4 organizations joined together and became one united organization.  The prefectural governor accepted his position as a chairman (Mr. Nanaimo.  Actually his father was a student of Chonju Miyagi Sensei).  Chairmen from 4 organizations became vice chairmen.  Higaonna Sensei has been working actively to make this happen.  He is very pleased about this new development.  This means that all traditional Okawan karate organizations and dojo will work together to promote the arts, and to receive more support from Okinawan and Japanese government.  As you may know, IOGKF is the biggest organization in any Okinawan traditional karate organizations.  Higaonna Sensei is well respected among Okinawan karate society for his technical ability, depth of knowledge, and humanity.

This is a great news for all traditional karate-ka.

Tetsuji Nakamura
IOGKF Administrative Director

Message for the practitioners of Tibetan meditation & yoga @ KenKon, Integral Life and Training Centre and potential guests for the TY session tomorrow:

Dear all,

Unfortunately there is no Tibetan Yoga class tomorrow, September 6. The traffic from here to Hamburg seems more challenging than I was used to. And I have to teach karate from Friday early evening to Sunday afternoon. Therefor I need to leave before 10 h. I realized this too late and was not able to find a replacement for my me in time. My apologies.

If you had any friends that planned to come – alone or with you – please let them know that there is no session, but that they are welcome next Friday.

I look forward to see you again next week at the meditation or yoga classes. Let’s make it a wonderful year!

Warm regards,

Sydney
