Announcement of the 2nd Okinawa Traditional Karate and Kobudo Worldwide Seminar
Entry start！
To Karate Enthusiasts around the World
We would like to invite you to Okinawa, the birthplace of karate, to participate in the 2nd Okinawa Traditional Karate and Kobudo Worldwide Seminar.
Okinawa traditional karate-do, our original cultural heritage, is today internationally recognized. Okinawa Prefectural Government is currently working on projects to inform the world of karate’s origins, encouraging people to learn its essential elements. In order to achieve this goal, it is also constructing the Karate-do Hall (tentative name), a center for learning karate. By doing so, we hope to reinforce further the popularity of Okinawa traditional karate-do.
Okinawa Prefectural Government and the Advancement of Traditional Okinawa Karate are working together to host an Okinawa Traditional Karate and Kobudo Worldwide Seminar, covering all ryu-ha (styles), from July 14 to July 19, 2014.
The seminar offered last year was successful and many karate enthusiasts from inside and outside of the country learned the essence and diversity of karate, which exists across all ryu-ha.
The seminar was highly appraised by the participants, whose comments included, “I’m very impressed to have received training from famous karate masters” and “I got to try different karate ryu-ha and appreciate the differences.”
This seminar also offers special programs taught by masters of the major ryu-ha of Okinawa traditional karate: Shorin-Ryu styles (少林流、小林流、松林流、少林寺流), Goju-Ryu, Uechi-Ryu, and Kobudo.
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome as many karate enthusiasts as possible from inside and outside of Japan.
