On October 8, 2022 IKGA North America was proud to host an
online seminar. After over two years of being locked down, we were fortunate to
have Saiko Shihan Goshi Yamaguchi teach a comprehensive online class for brown
and black belt members. He was assisted by Asian Block President Gohei Yamaguchi Shihan and Brent
Regan Shihan. 64 members from IKGA Canada and USA affiliated dojos participated
in the seminar.
The seminar covered basic techniques including Tachi, Uke,
Tsuki and Keri, as well as introducing the new Kata Kenshu and Shoshu. It was just over 2 hours in length and was packed with new information, in addition to being a great review for everyone to take away and practice.
The general seminar was followed immediately by a class for Shihans,
which included the new kata Ryoshu, and Tokuteikata Genkaku and Chikaku. Saiko
Shihan also took some time to teach theory behind the four Tokuteikata. Although
our time together online was short, this was a fantastic training opportunity
and a great chance for the Shihans of North America to brush up on their knowledge.
It has been too long since we have been able to get together.
Thank you to Saiko Shihan for offering to lead this online seminar, and also a
big thank you to all the participating Dojos, Instructors and members. While we
weren’t able to meet and train together in person, this was a fantastic
opportunity to get together online and share some time together. Being able to
practice together again, even online, was fun, challenging and re-invigorating.
Let's start looking ahead to our next chance to get together!
