The two JKF national team female kata members, K.Inoue and R.Kajikawa
visited Washingtong D.C., U.S.A. To demonstrate kata at a party held by
Japanese embassy.
It was an annual BBQ party on purpose to communicate with U.S. army &
government. However, it has another special meaning this year – it was held
to express Japan’s deep gratitude to U.S. Army, government, and their family
for their great support to eastern Japan after the terrible earthquake and
tsunami.
From 12:30 the martial arts demonstration has started from K.Inoue’s
Suparimpei. R.Kajikawa showed her best kata Chatanyara Kusanku. And then 5
Karate/Aikido instructor from Hokubei Shihankai and 2 kendo member from
Japan embassy demonstrated.
