Training Course with JKA HQ Instructors in Poland


From September 27th to 30th, 2024, members of JKA/WF Belarus had the privilege of attending an intensive course in Tarnowo Podgórne, Poland, led by esteemed JKA HQ instructors Naka Tatsuya and Kurihara Kazuaki. This course provided a rare opportunity to train under two of JKA’s prominent instructors outside of Japan, enhancing our members’ skills and deepening their understanding of traditional JKA techniques and philosophy.

Our members have previously trained with Naka Sensei and Kurihara Sensei during past visits to Japan, and it was an honor to reconnect with these instructors on Polish soil. Their expert guidance and insights offered invaluable development to our karateka, reinforcing technical precision and the spirit of JKA Shotokan.

JKA/WF Belarus extends sincere gratitude to Naka Sensei and Kurihara Sensei for their dedication to teaching, and to JKA Poland’s Chief Instructor Mariusz Jewdokimow for organizing this remarkable event. This seminar exemplifies the strength of international collaboration within the JKA community, fostering unity and shared growth among practitioners across nations.
