“The Annual Soke Takayoshi Nagamine Memorial Weekend will be held at Cocoa Beach Karate August 8-9, 2025. The event is held in honor of Soke, his teachings and his contributions to practitioners of Matsubayashi Karate Do”.
Event times are Friday, August 8, 2025 from 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm, and Saturday August 9, 2025 from 1:00 pm – 4:30 pm.
In 2011 Soke made his last visit of many to Florida when he conducted a week long seminar at Cocoa Beach Karate. He was scheduled to do another seminar here in 2012 before his untimely passing. Since then, Cocoa Beach Karate has held a special Memorial Weekend in his honor every year around this time. The two day event begins each day with participants standing around posters of Soke and Grand Master Shoshin Nagamine and sharing ther experiences and stories in his honor. Thereafter a standard workout is conducted with traditional warmups and kihon, followed by all of the Matsubayashi kata as well as kobudo. Each visiting dojo gets to perform a group kata with their students.
