Sample Seminar Event 2
Our Yuimaru Hakken seminar in Okinawa in 2019 received very positive reviews from all 18 attendees who came in from countries as diverse as Canada, the USA, Singapore, Finland, India, China and Germany. Ability and experience levels ranged from a few years to decades of experience and teachers in their own dojos but all said they benefited enormously and took much away to enhance their practice and to pass on to their students. Okinawan instructors included Nakasone Koichi sensei (Shuri-te), Gaja Takehiro sensei (Uechi-ryu), and Yagi Isao sensei (Moide Motobu-ryu).
We organised a full 15 day package of seminars with 5 different teachers, accommodation in 4 beautiful locations around the island, transportation from hotel to seminar venue and day trips too, special meal events and outdoor activities.
