at Downtown Dojo
We had guests from New
Zealand.
Sempai Mike and Sempai Astrid came to the dojo and trained with us.
We not only had great training together but also had them teach Kata to
students
at intermediate levels. The two Sempais are visiting their friends in
Vancouver and will be staying here
for another two weeks. Hopefully, we will see them again before they leave
for their country.

While we run a regular class in
downtown on Wednesdays,
senior fighters of VKK train together on the same day at RED.
Sempai Michi, Mark and Pasha went through a round after a round in bag work
routines
to push their limits (Kris was absent today due to work).
There are exactly 238 days left until the 10th World Tournament. Check out video footage of their training at

Hope it will inspire viewers to train hard.
Feb 9
at Downtown Dojo
There are two Kyokushin banners being
displayed during the class at the downtown dojo.
Do you know who prepare for them? Junior students of the children's class
hang and take care of them.
They probably don't know what the banner says but will remember the shape of
the Kanji
for a long time.
