    Default Akamine Kaicho Visit to Minnesota

    All,

    I have invited Akamine Hiroshi Kaicho to Minnesota for a visit and seminar. He will arrive on September 25, 2010. We will attend a Vikings Lions game on the 26th. We will also have a seminar, tournament, and testing on Oct 2-3 at our new location in Mankato in the Bell Mar Center. He will return to Okinawa on the 4th. Each evening from Sept 27 to October 1st we will try to have a training session set up either at our Mankato Dojo or at other dojos here in Southern Minnesota.

    I will post updated information here and at www.ryukyu-kobudo.com and www.katomma.com as the details are decided.

    Those wishing to participate please contact me at tim.jurgens@ryukyu-kobudo.com.

    I hope to have the support of everyone in ensuring that Akamine Sensei's visit is fun and productive.

    Regards,

    Tim Jurgens

    Default Many thanks for all the support

    I am honored by all the support we received from our international and local visitors. We were happy to host Akamine Kaicho, Yoshimoto Sensei, Paul Vermiglio Sensei, Penny van Heerden Sensei, Chris Nesbit Sensei, Effi Schelyen Sensei, Krishnamurthy Sensei, Phillipis Sensei, Losier Sensei, Holt Sensei, and Ruberto Sensei for most of the week. We put in some hard training and some great fellowship.

    We are looking forward for the next international gathering, which Krishnamurthy Sensei has offered to host in India.

    Best regards to all,

    Tim
    Yours in budo.
