Adrian Senpai and students from Nagahama Shibu Dojo performed together for Toyama Sensei (Judan Hanshi) in Shubukan (修武館) Dojo at Zakimi.
Adrian Senpai is the first Malaysian to visit Uechi-Ryu Zankai’s Honbu Dojo at Zakimi. He was thrilled by his visit and saw for himself his own eyes a typical traditional Okinawan karate-do dojo and the legendary Toyama Seiko Sensei, Judan (10th dan) Hanshi.
This is Adrian’s second visit to Zakimi dojo during his first visit to Okinawa. His performance also received approval from Toyama Sensei to bring Uechi-Ryu Zankai knowledge back to Malaysia and spread and preserve the ancient arts of Uechi-Ryu empty hand.
Students introduced themselves to Toyama Sensei.
