We conducted a Karate History Tour in Naha on July 12th, 2020 for Yoshiji Soeno Sensei and his wife Iuliana Soeno. Yoshiji Soeno Sensei is a Japanese karateka from the Kyokushin Kaikan (極真会館) and a retired professional welterweight kickboxer. He founded Shidōkan Karate, and is also known as The Tiger of Josai. For those of you who know the video game developer and publisher Capcom and its Street Fighter franchise, the character Ryu is said to be based on Yoshiji Soeno Sensei. It was an honor to have done the tour for them.

The Okinawa Tourism Convention Bureau (OCVB) introduced us to a group of 10 people from the Hong Kong Educational Trip FAM Tour, and today the group participated in our “Zen + Karate” program at the Shuri Kannondo Temple. The program was restricted to an hour from 6:30am to 7:30am because of their flight schedule. After enjoying the Zen and Karate, the group then enjoyed taking many photos. They were able to have a unique cultural experience, an experience unlike any we have offered to other School Educational trips to Okinawa in the past. We will continue to offer karate experiences in various ways to everyone, Karate pratitioner or not, visiting Okinawa.
