Dear all WMKA & EMKA Dojo Owners, This year is almost over and you must be very busy reviewing the year and preparing for next year. This year was a very sad and painful year for all of us. We lost Soke Takayoshi Nagamine on April 25, 2012. Soke Nagamine’s personal value and value as a great karate Master was proved and recognized by the magazine article in the famous Official Karate magazine’s November 2012 fall edition. As I stated in my previous message, we need your support and cooperation to preserve and continue his legacy and Matsubayashi-ryu Karate-Do around the world.

Dear all WMKA Dojo Owners, The London Olympic are over. I hope you all have returned to your normal peaceful everyday life and are pursuing karate practice in your own countries. Four months have passed since the passing away of Soke Takayoshi Nagamine, “the strongest leader and the greatest advertisement symbol of the WMKA”.

Dear all WMKA Dojo Owners, I am sure all members are healthy and pursuing karate practice in your own countries. It is very hot in Okinawa. How is it in your countries ?
