The instructors from Japan are willing to train with the Bermagui club members for the time they are here.
“The amount of improvement will be well evident by the end of the week,” club Sensei Chris Mckechnie said. “With Nishimura Sensei visiting on the June long weekend only weeks later for grading and training the experience will be invaluable.”
The most accomplished visiting Sensei is Osamu Kanda who is 6th Dan JKA (Japan Karate Association) and also A Examiner B Judge A, Urawa Karate Federation Director, JKA Urawa Branch board chairman, JKA Saitama Prefecture headquarters director, experience training of 50 years and an immigration lawyer.
The other two Sensei are Toshimasa Miyazaki, who is JKA 5 Dan Instructor C Examiner C with experience of 40 years and Junko Tanaka, JKA 3 Dan Instructor D Examiner D Judge D and has experience of 20 years.
Mr Mckechnie said if the club was successful with numbers attending most training sessions, this could be an annual event.
