Karate Masters Seminar this past weekend was a success!
We would like to say a special thank you to Shihan Kevin Funakoshi for sharing your karate mastery with our group. Everyone’s Gojushiho Sho Kata has been brought to a new level. It was an honor to have shared the tatami with such a high level master! #FunakoshiWorldTour

We got to meet in person an extraordinary person, Sergei Burlakov. Thank you Sergei for coming to Denver all the way from Russia to share your wisdom, motivation and reminding us that everything in life is possible no matter what! It was first the seminar that Sergei Burlakov taught and he will continue traveling the World to share his passion and empower others. #TheHistoryWasMade

Testing for the next rank (Kyu) is a significant milestone in the life of any karateka—a chance to showcase the results of their perseverance and training.We are incredibly proud of all our students who tested. Well done, and congratulations!#karatebros #dreamteamokinawa #usakarate #karate #dojo #karatekid #okinawadojo #karatedenver #senseilife #belttest

We are beyond proud of our student Eduard Sagilyan @eduard_sagilyan_ who successfully represents Okinawa Dojo at the World arena.Currently, Eddie is ranked number #4 in the World among U21 athletes and number #16 in the World among +84 kg Senior athletes.At the beginning of October, Eddie represented Team USA at the World Championships in Jesolo, Italy, and placed 7th in the WORLD! We all saw what happened in the quarterfinals, a referee made a wrong call, that could have changed the match outcome completely, but, hey, it’s a sport! And just like in life in sport, things not always happen the way they should. We are ready for whatever it is ahead of us.Eddie got back home, refocused, re-adjusted, and started preparing for the next big event - the Karate World Cup in Pamplona, Spain that is happening this coming weekend, November 22-24. Eddie is already on his way to Spain, where he will meet with the rest of the Team USA. The men’s team is fighting on Friday.Good luck Team USA 🇺🇸Watch LIVE:Tatami 1: https://i.mtrbio.com/MUBACTZFFHTatami 2: https://i.mtrbio.com/SDNBXJREEJ#EduardSagilyan
