A 4-day seminar was organised in Ukraine this week. Okikukai Ukraine and its head instructors, Oleg Bilonogyi Sensei (Shidoin, 3 Dan) and Ruslan Afanasiev Sensei (Shidoin, 3 Dan) offered their students a unique chance to train under Vladimir Popovic Sensei (Kyoshi, 7 Dan) between the 11th and the 14th of August in Kiev. Italian students also joined the event. Practitioners received many technical corrections, suggestions and feedback to improve their Uechi-Ryu skills. Everybody loved the event and looking forward to the next meeting. 
The seminar took place in the facilities of Rosehill Community Centre and was divided into 8 training sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, starting on Thursday the 15th up to Sunday the 18th of September 2016. Okinawan masters had the chance to experience the local hospitality and visited many wonderful sights. They even had the chance to visit and dine at Christ Church main hall (maybe the most prestigious college in the world), aka the Harry Potter Restaurant, the very same room where many of the scenes of the famous cinema series Harry Potter were shot.
UechiRyu.eu salutes the wonderful event and congratulates Uechi-Ryu GB Association on taking this great responsibility to organize and bring all these great masters and the knowledge they carry, straight from Okinawa, the birthplace of Karate.
A seminar with Arthur Moulas Sensei (Hanshi, 9 Dan), head instructor of Okinawa Uechi Ryu Karate Do Kyokai Australia, is organized this September. Thomas Podzelny Sensei (Shihan, 5 Dan), head instructor of Ki-Shin-Tai Dojo (Erlangen, Germany), is in charge of the organization of the event. The training sessions will take place in Ki-Shin-Tai Dojo from 2nd to 4th of September 2016. Several happenings will be held during the seminar day and Podzelny Sensei will offer free accommodation to the participants in his dojo (which we find super-cool! :D ). The number of participants is limited to 20, and priority will be given to the participants who plan to attend the whole seminar. Registrations have already started! We wish all the best to Podzelny Sensei on this awesome event!!!
