Ryueiryu 200 Years mermoiers seminar

|
Ryueiryu has strived its way through the history of karate. It has started its journey since 1819, founded by karate master Kenri Nakaima. From a mystic to one of the most popular karate style, mr Sakumoto has devoted himself in promoting Ryueiryu around the world. We were fortunate enough to participate its 200th anniversary seminar with all the karate fellows around the world.
During this 3 day seminar, karate practitioners around the world gathered in Okinawa and spent our days practicing basics and katas such as Heiku, Paiku, Anan, Anan Dai, Ohan, Ohan Dai and Pachu. We were trained by the Japan national team. Sweat, command and laughter were echoing the seminar stadium. We have also met various famous karate master such as world champion Ms Sandra Sancez and Mr. Damian Hugo.
Apart from our hard work, we have also spent a bit of our time enjoying Okinawa. Our activities included: the diving section in the famous Okinawa Blue Cave, dining with famous Okinawa dishes (especially Ishigaki beef), visiting magnificent beaches in Kouri Island, and last but not least, shopping and fireworks. We have enjoyed our time with friends and family. It was truly an amazing summer.
We would like to give our greatest gratitude to Ryueiryu Ryuhukai, which organized this brilliant seminar. We have learned so much from it. For sure, we will work hard and help to spread the spirit of Ryueiryu to our younger generation. As Mr Sakumoto has taught us: Never give up!
