Dear WMKA Dojo Owners, We hope that you have arranged your schedule for the events and are ready to submit your final application. Please refer to the due date and the sample formats for the events. We are expecting to see you and your students in Okinawa at the events. You can also meet many WMKA members from around the world.

Dear WMKA Dojo Owners, I hope you are arranging your schedule to attend “The Memorial Events for Soke in Okinawa”. We are expecting to see you and your students in Okinawa in October & November.

Dear WMKA Dojo Owners,  We hereby announce the application procedure for the events. Please arrange your schedule for the events and submit your application to Okinawa Headquarters by each due date.

Dear Dojo Owners around the world, 1.    Mailing address change.  The payment system of WMKA annual fees is working well because of your support and cooperation. But I want to change the mailing address of Okinawa Headquarters from me to Mr. Riki Nomura, overseas manager in Okinawa, as of today.

(posted with authorization from WMKA President Yoshitaka Taira) The Hombu Dojo has announced it will be holding the last joint dojo workout on Sunday December 15th at 3pm. It would be wonderful if everyone could attend this historical event but for most of us that is not feasible.

Dear WMKA Dojo Owners,  It is deep regret and sadness that we have to announce “The Last Joint Karate Practice in the Nagamine Honbu Dojo”, which has been arranged for 3pm on December 15, 2013.  The Nagamine family has mentioned that Mr. Bunshiro Nagamine 2nd dan, Soke’s son and an elementary school teacher, is still thinking of continuing the Dojo somehow.

Dear WMKA Dojo Owners, We are grateful for your dedication to preserve and spread Matsubayashi-Ryu Karate-Do around the world wherever you live.

Dear all WMKA and EMKA members, I hope all of you are having success and happiness in your daily lives as well as in your karate life wherever you live.

Dear WMKA & EMKA Dojo Owners I think you are busy and enjoying A Happy New Year.  I pray the best for you in 2013. Everything is well in Okinawa too.

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.
