KARATE SEMINARS IN GREECE WITH THE CHIEF-INSTRUCTOR OF SHUKOKAI EUROPE, SHIHAN TSUTOMU KAMOHARA
With ABSOLUTE success, the seminars of the Vice-president / Technical Director / Chief-instructor of Shito-ryu Shukokai Karate Union Greece, Shian Tsutomu KAMOHARA (8 Dan), were completed in Heraklion of Crete, Greece, on the 12th, 13th & 14th of November 2004. The Japanese Sensei taught basic syllabus of Shukokai, up to the level of the 1st Dan. Three days full of Karate: an unforgettable experience for the members of the Greek Shito-ryu Shukokai Union who had the opportunity to train along with one of the world's top-rank instructors, sensei Tsutomu KAMOHARA. It was a great honour for our union to have the sensei with us, in order to teach us his knowledge. All the athletes were left with the best impressions and cannot wait for the time to pass until our next meeting. All local newspapers and tv channels in Heraklion of Crete reported the event as one of the most important events for this year. We wish to have a very good relation of cooperation with Sensei Tsutomu KAMOHARA, the European Shukokai Union along with all of its members, as well as with the World Shukokai Union and its leader, Shihan Haruyoshi YAMADA. What we witnessed these days was a special experience, inside as well as outside the dojos, which means that the Great Shito-ryu Shukokai Union is a warm family for everyone and we will be happy to be able to help as much as we can, in anything that is organised in our country, as well as outside of it.
