On Friday morning a 5-member team of Shotokan Karatekas left Guyana to attend the 44th Annual ISKF Master Camp 2010 and International Goodwill Tournament which is being held in Philadelphia, USA, June 11-18.
This is a unique Shotokan training camp as it brings together the highest-ranking qualified Shotokan instructors along with participants from over 30 countries for a full week. Every year karatekas from around the world participate in the camp’s traditional standards and quality techniques where they gain experience from other cultures that they may not have had the opportunity to be exposed to if not for the ISKF Master Camp. Master Funakoshi, the founder, truly believed that Shotokan karate was for the world to appreciate. It was his goal to share this martial art with everyone who could possibly be reached.
The Master Camp goes even further than that, as it brings all these cultures to one location to live together, train together and get to know one another for one week and hopefully they gain a better understanding of each other to bring this new knowledge back to their perspective countries.
The Master Camp is open to all Shotokan practitioners, regardless of their affiliation. A release stated that the event, is an unforgettable experience for all to get such superb instruction and world knowledge that it is truly a life-changing event.
This year in addition to Master Yutaka Yaguchi, 9th Dan ISKF sensei, participants will also have impeccable instruction from Masters Hirokazu Kanazawa 10th Dan – SKIF Japan, Masaru Miura 9th Dan – SKI-I Italy and Frank Woon-A-Tai 8th Dan – Guyana.
Samuel Ming, Roger Peroune and Patrick Cheeks will be participating in the upcoming Pan American Championships which is being hosted by Guyana during August 12-15, 2010. Sensei Amir Khouri will be a judge at the event and they will be using the camp’s training to sharpen and perfect their skills.
