Our group today represents around ftyDojos and more than 1000 members.
Our objective, thanks to events such as
GASSHUKU, demonstrations, gradechanges and quali cations, is to be able
to bring together a large number ofkarateka who want to progress in JKA
karate. Instructors from many Dojoscame to continue to be inspired by thegreat precision of the teaching as
Hirayama sensei showed us during hisvisit. Practitioners of all levels wereinvited to practice karate during theweek. The children participated intraining in several groups depending on
their age. During the week, we reviewed
many important points on the main
themes of Karate, such as KIHON, KATAand KUMITE. Also, we reviewed an
important principle concerning KIME (0to 10 to 0). We also worked a lot on thefundamentals of work, hips and release.
We reviewed the importance of KIAI andexperimented with the KUMITE
approach with exercises alone and withpartners. Returning to the fundamentals
and exploring superior techniques allows
all practitioners to continue to climb thelong path of karate-do. We are con dent
that instructors and their assistants will
be able to pass on this week's teaching
to their students to prepare future
generations.
Thank you everyone, nothing is possible
without everyone's efforts. OSS!

CONTINUE EFFORTS TO GROWJKA KARATE IN FRANCE
For many years JKA karate has been present in France and has been able to develop
with everyone's efforts. With the advent of digital technology, social networks, andvideos, we wanted to share this karate school through all possible media. This is why
we have prepared some souvenir videos and photo albums.
With events like this winter gasshuku, we can ensure the link between the Tokyo honbu
dojo and French practitioners. This is important to develop, maintain what is, and growthe practice of budo and real karate.
