Over the weekend we were honoured with an invitation to train at the dojo of Masanari Kikugawa Sensei.

Kikugawa Sensei is not only a 10th Dan and the Chairperson of the OGKK, but also an Okinawa Prefecture Intangible Cultural asset holder for Karate do.

At 80 years of age, Kikugawa sensei is strong, healthy and still training. He spoke with us about the importance of balance in your life and training with the goal of longevity and health. A true honour to train at his dojo and to meet his welcoming and friendly students.

We also continued our training with Masuda sensei working on our hojo undo, and also visiting the OGKK Masuda Karate Dojo to help with the kids classes again.

I can’t express how grateful we feel to have this opportunity to learn so much in the birthplace of karate.

To top it all off and to end our Okinawan adventure (for now) Masuda Sensei held a small party at the dojo with us, his dojo members and some of the local community.

As sad as we are to have left Okinawa, we’ll be back very soon.

The week so far in Okinawa has been incredible.
We’ve had the honour of being welcomed into the local community, helping teach at nursery schools and even helping run classes with Masuda Sensei at OGKK Masuda Karate Dojo .

The lessons have been consistent, promoting health and the preservation of Okinawan Goju Ryu.

To say that We’re excited is an understatement.

A little over a week ago, we had the amazing opportunity to train at the international training camp for the Okinawa Goju Ryu Karate Do Kyokai.
Hosted at the Eidokin in Fujinomiya, at the base of Mount Fuji, the camp was 3 days of training with and meeting OGKK members from all around the world, coming together to train under the watchful eyes of some of the highest level instructors in Goju Ryu.

Training with not only Masuda Sensei, but also Murumatsu Sensei, Minei Sensei, Hirata Sensei and Teruya Sensei, honorary chairperson and who is an Okinawan intangible cultural property holder for Okinawan Karate all in the same room is something we didn’t think we’d get to experience.

Shannon Sensei, Josh Sensei and Kate Sensei trained hard in 30 degree plus heat, trying to absorb as much information as possible.

From training, to sightseeing, to dinner parties, the experience was incredible every step of the way.

Shannon Sensei has returned to Adelaide getting straight back into things teaching at the dojo, but Josh Sensei and Kate Sensei have headed to Okinawa for further training with OGKK Masuda Karate Dojo .
