Another one in the books! The Spring 2024 RBKD seminar was held in the Buddhist Temple in Mountain View, CA.

It was a pleasure meeting Dr. Mohamed Elhosieny. He is the Chairman of the Technical Commission of the World Karate Federation. He conducted a Coach’s seminar at the JIC/US Open Karate Championships. Attending this educational program was motivating and inspiring. A big thanks to Elisa Au, President of USA Karate for inviting him to teach at this event.

Throw back Thursday; with Sensei Leung when we both had hair 😊 at a seminar conducted by Sensei Yahara at the 1996 USANKF Nationals in Seattle, Washington.

Had a great time yesterday with my friend Gilvan at the 2024 EGN International NY Open at my alma mater CCNY.

It was good to see an old friend at the 2024 Garden State Karate Championship. Walter is a former teammate and a fellow USA Karate Hall of Fame inductee.
