Okinawa 2016 Trip
Posted by Tanya Hooper on 11 November 2016
On Saturday 22nd October, seven members of the Dojo travelled to Okinawa, Japan. The weather was a scourching 29 degrees when we arrived. We rushed to the main street in Naha to witness the World Record Breaking attempt of the most people performing a kata at the same time. There were over 3000 adults and children lined up in the street and the performance was spectacular. We were also asked to perform in a karate demonstration, which was part of the 6th Worldwide Uchinanchu Festival, which was a great honour.
We had lots of fantastic training with our Okinawan teacher Arakaki Sensei, and met with many karate friends from around the globe. Please take a minute to look at some of our pictures.
