This years line up was very interesting and remarkable.

Okuma sensei, Shimizu sensei and Kurihara sensei traveled to the Netherlands to teach at our 8th Memorial seminar.

JKA Nederland had the honor to invite these good and highly ranked sensei to Beek. A small village in the South of the Netherlands.

The karatelessons were very great and impressive.

JKA Nederland responsibles Ramon & Tamara Wewengkang sensei were very proud on this successful seminar.

On Wednesday Shimizu sensei allready started teaching  at the local dojo. Everybody was impressed by the smooth techniques and skills from sensei.

The first training of the seminar started with 4 sensei on Friday evening. Sawada sensei from Belgium also came to teach in the Netherlands.

Saturday & Sunday the course counted more people than before. Imagine we started 8 years ago with 110 people and every year we see more visitors.

There were participants from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Italy and Luxemburg and from now on we can tell this JKA Nederland seminar will be an international event.

Even our country is very small, the international meetings, friends and atmosphere and ofcourse the knowledge of the sensei made it an unfurgettable weekend.

We don’t have to tell how great the classes from the sensei were: the JKA spirit and JKA techniques always started from the basics and from that point the lessons started.

We, JKA Nederland, hope to meet more international karatefriends to the next edition of this Memorial seminar.
