🥋"A special day for our dojo family."🥋
Today’s training session was dedicated to the birthday of Hokama Tetsuhiro Hanshi, founder of the International Kenshikai Organization (I.K.O.) and one of Okinawa’s most respected karate masters.
Seeing students of all ages train together is a reminder that karate is far more than technique. It is about respect, perseverance, character, and the transmission of knowledge from one generation to the next.
As a dojo proudly connected to Okinawa, the birthplace of karate, we are grateful for the guidance, wisdom, and inspiration that Hokama Sensei continues to share with practitioners around the world.
Happy Birthday, Sensei!
From all of us at Shaolin Dojo Belgium, thank you for your lifelong dedication to preserving and promoting the traditions and values of authentic Okinawan karate.
🙏 We wish you good health, happiness, and many more years of inspiration.
