Yesterday was a celebration day for our Asato Dojo family as we enjoyed a fantastic demonstration of karate from our juniors and senior students. They all passed their tests and deservedly earned their promotions. In particular we are very happy and proud to welcome Alain Roy to our Yudansha ranks as he earned shodan after 4 years+ of consistent effort in his own personal development and in active support for our dojo through assisting in the teaching and development of other students. His skillsets and knowledge of Okinawa karate and kobudo has advanced considerably and we look forward to continuing our progress forward with him in our senior ranks.
Also to be congratulated: Oyakawa san for passing his first test with us, Yuuta for successfully "graduating" from our junior class to the senior group and proving his rank there, Manel who is visiting as a guest for several months and gets to take home a very special souvenir in recognition of his hard work here, Jessica who continues to progress steadily on the back of consistency in training and Maki san whose tenacity and hard work underpin her continual progression and achievement.
Lastly but not least our deep gratitude to Arakaki Toshimitsu Hanshi who guides and leads us in our study of Matsubayshiryu karate and kobudo. As always he shared guidance, corrections and insights into traditional Okinawan karate culture with us during the testing.

皆さん、こんにちは。台風の接近に伴い、空手昇級・昇段審査の日程を1週間延期し、7月4日に変更するのが賢明だと判断いたしました。何卒ご理解のほど、よろしくお願い申し上げます。
Hello everyone. Due to the incoming typhoon conditions I think it is wise to reschedule our karate testing day back by one week to July 4th. Thank you for your understanding.

明日の休講については、明日確認いたします。本日は通常通り授業を行います。
I will confirm any class cancellations tomorrow. Today we have classes as normal.

Japan's government will hold a ceremony on Nov. 22 to mark restoration work being completed on Shuri Castle's main hall in Okinawa Prefecture, which burned down in 2019.

Toshi Tamashiro Sensei, at first glance, appears quietly confident and reserved. Then he steps onto the dojo floor, moves through several repetitions of Naihanchi Shodan, bows to an uke, and suddenly everything changes. He explodes into life.

His ex*****on of kata was nothing short of sublime. To both the casual observer and the seasoned karateka alike, it was immediately obvious that this level of skill could only come from decades of disciplined practice and unwavering dedication. Those fortunate enough to attend Kizuna witnessed someone who truly embodies the old Okinawan ideal of “one kata, three years.”

When demonstrating oyo, Toshi Sensei moved with remarkable fluidity, applying a vast range of movements and postures to effortlessly neutralise an aggressor. This was not choreographed theatre or unrealistic long-range techniques performed against compliant attacks. What we witnessed was unquestionably old-school karate, close range, practical, direct, and brutally effective. Grappling, joint locks, throws, strikes, control, all delivered within a genuine self-protection context.

One of the true highlights of the weekend was watching Toshi Sensei demonstrate how kata is meant to function in kumite. Time and again he dispatched three aggressors with what appeared to be complete ease. Watching him move was like watching a hot knife glide through butter. If the exchange could have been slowed down frame by frame, it would have become unmistakably clear, this was Naihanchi brought to life.

As Goju Ryu practitioners ourselves, with Naihanchi forming part of our own curriculum, Toshi Sensei’s advice for improvement could not have been more relevant: “Relax and use your lats.” Simple words, yet delivered with the weight of genuine experience and understanding.

From all of us at Okinawan Karate Jutsu Cairns, and from everyone who attended Kizuna over the weekend, thank you, Toshi Sensei, for sharing your knowledge, skill, humility, and passion for karate with us all.
