IOGKF 9th World Budosai

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to helping prepare registration for the Budosai. It was especially inspiring to see Sensei Nakamura, Sensei Ernie, Sensei Henrik and Sensei Jorge working hard to help pick the packages themselves. A true example of leading from the front! See you tomorrow at 2pm!

Just a reminder that we have shuttle buses running from Tsubogawa monorail station to the Karste kaikan tomorrow. Registration runs from 14:00-16:45hrs. See you tomorrow!
