Eishinkan was able to participate in an Inter-dojo Zoom Kangeiko training session. We performed Kihon and Yakusoku Kumite with 10 repetitions commemorating Uezu-Sensei's birth year, Showa 10. In addition, we will also performed group kata. Thank you Kaicho Chase for hosting the event and thanks to all the participants.

“Let 2026 be a year of steady training, body aligned, mind calm, and keiko continued.”

We had the privilege of training with four senior Okinawan karate masters from the Okinawa Karate Delegation during the Okinawa Friendship Karate Seminar in Georgia. It was a rare and meaningful opportunity to train alongside like-minded Okinawan karateka and deepen our understanding of traditional practice.

Sensei Zenshun Shimabukuro is a senior instructor of Seibukan Shōrin-ryū.

Sensei Masanori Kikugawa, 10th Dan, serves as Vice President of the Okinawa Gōjū-ryū Karate-dō Association.

Sōke Sadanao Uechi is the head of the Uechi family lineage and the leader of the Uechi-ryū Karate-dō Kyōkai.

Sensei Takahiko Gibo, 8th Dan, is a senior instructor of Shōrin-ryū Karate-dō and Okinawa Kobudō.

In addition, the Atlanta Okinawa Kenjinkai community association presented a beautiful demonstration of Eisa drumming and dance, which was inspiring to watch and added a meaningful cultural element to the seminar.

Thank you Dan Smith Sensei for hosting the event

我々瑛心館は、去った11月17日にジョージア州カミング市で開催された沖縄空手セミナーにおいて、沖縄空手代表団から派遣された沖縄の空手家4名の師範からご指導いただく貴重な機会を得ました。志を同じくする沖縄の空手家と共に稽古し、伝統的な修練への理解を深めることは、稀有で意義深い経験でした。

セミナーで指導された空手家4名の先生方は、
島袋善俊先生（国際沖縄少林流聖武館空手道協会七段）、喜久川政成（沖縄剛柔流空手道協会喜久川空手道場・沖縄県指定無形文化財保持者・範士十段）、
上地完尚（上地流空手道協会 宗家修武館 七段）、儀保 宜彦（沖縄空手道古武道小林流翔武館本部 八段）。

さらに、アトランタ沖縄県人会コミュニティ協会によるエイサー太鼓と踊りの見事な演舞が披露され、感動的な光景であり、セミナーに意義深い文化的要素を加えました。

October 25th is “Karate Day.”
From Okinawa, the birthplace of Karate, to the world—
This year marks 80 years since the end of the war, a time to reflect on peace and to share the spirit of Karate with friends from across the globe.
Since the establishment of “Karate Day” in 2005, 20 years have passed.
Carrying on Okinawa’s proud tradition, Karate practitioners and enthusiasts worldwide continue to unite and step forward into the future.
Dedication performances, commemorative demonstrations, and special programs are scheduled.
Through them, you will experience not only the strength of martial arts, but also the spirit of respect, harmony, and peace.
We warmly invite you to take this opportunity to discover the essence of Karate.
May the “spirit of martial arts” within each of us become a force that connects the world in peace. Toru Kyan

A year has gone by since Grand Master Angi Uezu's passing. Solemnly reminded of this major loss, I also reflect on how tremendously grateful I am for having him in my life. Thank you, Sensei.
