01

Professional

Only the best instructors are invited to teach our seminars. These have included: Morio Higaonna 10th Dan; Zenpo Shimabukuro 10th Dan; Yoshio Kuba 10th Dan; Seisho Itokazu; Tsuyoshi Uechi 8th Dan; Kunio Uehara 10th Dan.

02

Focused

We do not waste your time with the repetition of basics. Rather, we correct your technique and send you home with new techniques to practice and perfect. This is why our repeat rate for our seminars overall is close to 30%.

03

Serious

Classes are well-planned, but on the other hand we have open and relaxed. Q&A sessions with teachers after training. Many members have told me that they received answers to questions they had wondered about since they began karate!

Since 2007

…we have been organizing high level karate events in Japan, Okinawa, North America, Mexico and the United Kingdom. We combine the best instructors with the most dedicated students to create seminars that are often described as the “experience of a lifetime!”

As a result, in 2016 our senior organizer was appointed to the position of Uchina Minkan Taishi 沖縄民間大使  (Okinawa Civil Ambassador ) by the Government of Okinawa  for his services to karate. This gives our members unparalled access to services while they are on the island.

For Your Convenience

We arrange everything for you. Our long term relationship with Five Star airline carriers like Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways allow us to make the best and most economical flight arrangements for you. We stay in very comfortable self-contained mini-apartments in the center city that boast a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom with free high speed WiFi, washing machine and cable TV in the center city area close to Kokusai Dori (Main Street) and two major monorail stations. Airport transfers are included as are training and dojo fees, so your basic local expenses are limited to meals and entertainment.

How Do I pay?

We accept all major credit cards, PayPal and checks (out of state checks need time to clear). Domestic and overseas wire transfers are also acceptable in US dollars.

Uniform?

A standard white uniform is preferred with style and name embroidery if you wish. Okinawa tends to be warm and humid, so lightweight canvas uniforms (10 ounce) are the most convenient.
