Visalia Goju-Ryu’s October Newsletter

We recently wrapped up an extraordinary 5-day Goju-Ryu Karate-Do Kenwakai seminar led by Hanshi Akio Takahashi (10th Dan)—his first U.S. seminar since the 1970s! A senior student of the legendary Gogen Yamaguchi, Hanshi Takahashi brought his world-class kumite and kata expertise to California.
Joining him were Shihan Kozy Kaneda and Shihan Akiko Shiosawa, who inspired us all with their precision, knowledge, and kindness. 💪

Seven hours a day of focused training—Junbi Undo, Kihon, Kata, Kumi-waza—made this a truly unforgettable and authentic experience. 🌏

Thank you to everyone who traveled from the UK, France, Mexico, and all over California. Your spirit made this seminar truly special. 🥋

Let’s carry forward the lessons and continue growing in the true spirit of Goju-Ryu! ✨
