Visit to Tokyo

Martin, Frank and Mike spent nine days in Japan to take part in the Kan Geiko training course. All completed the seven days which required starting at 7am each morning, jogging for one and a half to two miles, TOKYO1followed by karate training. Other training sessions throughout the day were optional and many of the top Senseis were present, giving brilliant lessons.

There was time for sight-seeing on most afternoons and there were amazing highlights, such as:

  • A Bullet Train trip to Kyoto
  • A ride on "Big O" (big wheel similar to the London Eye)
  • Shopping in the open air markets
  • The Imperial Palace Gardens
  • Tea house on the lake at the Waterfront Gardens
  • Lunch and karaoke party with Sensei Osaka and other JKA Instructors and students
  • Visiting a public hot bathing pool
  • Receiving course certificates from Sensei Suguira (9th Dan)
