Kyokushin in Tehran,
Iran
by Farshad Soleimanzadeh
Osu Sensei
Tats,
Congratulations on the success of Vancouver Cup tournament.
I saw all the news and the pictures of the tournament and
your dojo's other events through the web site. I'm glad to
see that you and your students are doing well. Please say hi
to everyone for me. I miss you guys a lot. Osu.
I'm doing well here in Iran. My work keeps me very busy
everyday. But I finally straightened my work schedule out
for Karate. I've actually begun training since last
Sunday. Hopefully, I can get back into shape quickly so I
will be able to compete in a tournament again.
By the way, I
sent you this martial arts magazine which is published
monthly in Tehran. A friend of mine works for the publisher.
he asked me to send him an article about my experience of
training Kyokushin in Canada. I gave him your photo from the
very first Vancouver Cup's poster. He also wanted to
introduce you in the article. The magazine was published
last month and I think it's very nicely edited. Hope you
enjoy that, too.
Well, that's
it for now. I hope someday you can bring your team to Tehran
because there are several international tournaments held
each year. It would be very nice if you and your
fighters could make it to one of them. If you come, we will
train together and have lots of fun.
I will email
you again to keep you up to date on what's happening here.
Osu!
Farshad
