A Happy New Year!
Headquarter of the Association executed may events last year. We had a general meeting, seminar and dan promotion test in June with participants from Tokyo Branch, The United States, Australia and Russia. Ishikawa Training Center accepted many students from Tokyo and overseas for their further study of Karate-Do throughout the year and also the Headquarter dispatched umpires and participants to Tokyo Metropolitan Karate-Do Championship in October. Those events told us how much the Association has certainly developed.
I would like to ask your cooperation for further development of the Association and wish the year of 2013 to be healthy and prosperous for all of you and your families.
