International Goju Ryu Karate Federation

Sensei,

Thank you once again for a marvelous black belt gasshuku. I have to honestly say that I learn more from your black belt gasshuku than any other event I attend all year. Amazingly they just keep getting better.

I also appreciate the time and attention you gave Andrea and Julie. Thank you for letting Julie train. I know it meant a lot to her.

Please let your students and the other Canadian dojo heads and students know that they are role models for the IOGKF and for all karatekas. You should be justifiably proud of their dedication, class and character. We just feel very lucky to be close enough to associate with such a fine group.

Thanks,

Sensei Sam Larioza, Ohana Dojo, Michigan, USA

Onegaishimasu, Sensei,

Thank you once a gain for another great event and for your teaching. For the last few gasshuku you have been passing onto us some very important information about body mechanics and how to develop internal power, I truly appreciate this knowledge it makes me work even harder on my kata and it gives a deeper meaning on my overall training.

During the tournament I was able to appreciate the participants technical abilities and it is very evident that IOGKF Canada, technical ability is increasing. The Kata were performed with a higher standard and I know it will only get better, our instructors are doing a good job on passing your knowledge to heir students.

I am looking forward to seeing you again at the 100 Rounds next month.

Regards,

Sensei Genaro L, Naha Dojo, Toronto

Lynne and I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for
the excellent training at the gasshuku this past weekend. We really
appreciate the depth and detail of the explanation you offer as it
greatly facilitates our understanding of the deeper aspects of Goju.

I attended the weekend training with Jody and Kevin , as always , we came away with a renew sense of encouragements about karate.

I appreciated how Sensei put in words some of the personal experiences he had regarding body mechanics which help us to improve our training.

With the right knowledge , we can practice and improve with the proper form in the first place instead of spending countless hours practicing the wrong things and spend more time fixing this mistakes later.

Thank you again Sensi for a wonderful weekend of knowledge and training.

Many thanks to Sensei Adi and the members that put in their time to make this possible.

Onegaishimasu Sensei,

This year's black belt gasshuku was a wonderful experience for Tyrone and I. Both of us would like to extend our deepest gratitude for the hard work you put into teaching the gasshuku, as well as to those involved in organizing the event. It was a great time for black belts from all over the country to get together, train hard and have a good time.

We are both looking forward to another exciting and informative gasshuku next year.

Arigato-Gozaimashita,

Tirrell and Tyrone Hill
