SKIF Together – Training in the spirit of Soke Kanazawa

A special announcement regarding the International Seminar and memorial for Soke Kanazawa, from the President of SKIF Yudansha Kai, Dr Philip Kwok:

Greetings from Yudansha Kai.

We hope that we find you all in good health and good spirit.

I believe that our karate training gives us the fortitude to meet the challenges during this very difficult time of the Coronavirus pandemic.You all know that we could not meet together in late March for the International Seminar and Soke Kanazawa’s Memorial. So we have decided on next Sunday, May 3rd, Soke’s birthday, to organise an online training so we can all train in our homes all over the world in the spirit of Soke and achieve solidarity around the world.

So SKIF Honbu and Yudansha Kai hope that you all can join this live event and experience our SKIF together and experience a virtual fellowship. Thank you. OSS!

This special seminar was open to all karateka and remains available on YouTube for all to participate.
