First in-person tournament in almost three years this past Sunday and it was great to see the achievements of all the Shotokan Karate do International Federation - SKIF JCCH students who participated! This tournament also featured our first participation in kobudo competition.

We want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Late post - Really proud of Jorden (Rupert Corpuz) Corpuz as he not only graduated from Iolani this past year...he is now attending United States Military Academy West Point for college! Awesome to see him grow up in the dojo and chase his dreams.

Awesome to see 2nd Lt Kevin Yoshimoto on his visit back home to Hawaii after graduating from the Air Force Academy. One of the first black belts from our Shotokan Karate-do International Federation (SKIF) at JCCH dojo.

Sharing a recent post by the Cherry Blossom Festival Pageant highlighting their visit with us earlier this year.

The martial art, Karate, was originally developed in Okinawa in the 17th Century and was later recognized as a Japanese martial art in the 1930s. Karate gained international popularity through various movies and televisions shows since then. But the marital art is more than what most people see on the big screen. Karate principles, derived from Zen and Bushido teachings, can be lifelong lessons that help people develop their individual character and esteem. Les Nishikawa of Shotokan Karate Club hosted a class for the Queen Contestants to learn about the sport and art. They learned various conditioning, punching, kicking, and defense exercises from Nishikawa Sensei and his pupils. Karate being the last cultural class for Contestants left a bittersweet feeling, but they had fun getting to know the Shotokan Karate Club and channeling their inner Karate Kid.
