A little calculation from Sensei Torben...
It is said that in order to master something you have to do 10,000 repetitions… So let’s do a little calculation to see how many 10,000 actually is?
If for example you do 100 Age Uke every day. Then it’ll take you approximately 6+ months before both your arms have done the 10,000 Age Uke.
Then think about your Kata…
How many repetitions of one particular kata is it likely you can do every day?
Let’s say you do 10 kata every single day then you’ll have to do it for 2 years and 8 months. In Goju-Ryu we only have 13 kata, still I guess it’s enough for a lifetime!

Today, Higaonna Sensei announced that he resigned from IOGKF. I feel great sadness that the relationship between Higaonna Sensei and all IOGKF family has been destroyed by a small group of people.
All IOGKF members and I have the utmost respect for Higaonna Sensei, and this will never change. He is the person who made who I am now, so as many of IOGKF senior instructors.
I hope that in time Higaonna Sensei will return as the supreme master “Saiko Shihan” of our organization. I will always be eternally grateful to his incredible and unmatchable contribution to our organization and his teaching to all of us.
