Kenwakai USA proudly presents Hanshi Akio Takahashi!
Seminar
For the first time in the United States since the 1970s, renowned Goju-Ryu Kumite master Akio Takahashi Hanshi, 10th Dan and Chief Instructor of Goju-Ryu Karate-Do Kenwakai, will lead an exclusive five-day seminar in Visalia, California. A resident of Tokyo, Japan, Hanshi Takahashi is a true legend in the martial arts world and will share his unique interpretation of the classic Goju-Ryu style.
From the 1960s to the mid-1980s, Takahashi Hanshi was renowned as both a masterful kumite instructor and practitioner within the International Karate-Do Goju-Kai Association (IKGA), led by the legendary Gogen Yamaguchi, famously known as "The Cat." This seminar offers an unparalleled opportunity for authentic, world-class Gojuryu training—bringing the essence of Japan’s martial arts excellence directly to you.
Joining Hanshi Takahashi will be two of his top students: Kozy Kaneda, Shihan, and Akiko Shiosawa, Shihan, as part of a distinguished panel of high-ranking instructors. The seminar will run daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with priority registration given to participants who commit to all five days. A limited number of individual day slots will also be available.
