The MKKU team led by Sanguinetti Sensei
traveled to Okinawa to participate in the 2nd Annual International MKKU Gasshuku
and in the 1st Memorial Demonstration in honor of Matayoshi Sensei. The team
trained for two weeks in the Kodokan Dojo, the Budokan and the Gym of the
Post Office. In addition to our team were other delegations from countries
such Argentina, Canada, Belgium, Italy, India, Australia, France, Switzerland,
Germany and mainland Japan. The visit included training in Kobudo and Karate,
demonstration in the Memorial, and sight seeing to landmarks of Kobudo and
Karate. As a result of the friendship between Yamashiro Sensei and Sanguinetti
Sensei, the MKKU team received the special treat of being invited to participate
and perform a demonstration at the Tsuna Hiki Festival in Itoman Village.
The team was also treated to a martial art and Taiko drums demonstrations
and a BBQ at Yamashiro Sensei Dojo after the Festival.
