NEW – Interview Series with Karate Masters from Okinawa

I would like to draw your attention to a small update. I am proud to announce the beginning of our interview series with Okinawan Karate masters.

In Toshiya Issue No. 103, our very first interview with Shimabukuro Zenpo Sensei (10th Dan Shōrin-ryū Seibukan) has been published. In addition to 40 questions for Shimabukuro Sensei, the interview also includes 10 questions for the German representative of Shōrin-ryū Seibukan, Jamal Measara Sensei (9th Dan Shōrin-ryū Seibukan).

My wife and I conducted these interviews during our last trip to Japan, which was more of a research trip—no, not just three days, but almost the entire journey. During this time, we had the opportunity to conduct several interviews, which will also be published in upcoming issues of Toshiya. They may not appear consecutively, as there will be a rotation, and other interviews with German Karateka, not conducted by us, will also be featured.

So, it might be a good idea to subscribe… there are still many interesting interviews to come.

And if anyone would like to have an interview conducted with their Sensei, feel free to contact us… we will try to make that interview happen as well.
