The Satsuma Dojo Board of Directors has invited Sensei Fumitoshi Kanazawa to come all the way from the SKIF (Shotokan Karate-do International Federation) Honbu Dojo in Tokyo to teach two of Satsuma Dojo’s regular classes at the Columbia Neighborhood Center on Thursday, October 31, and on Saturday, November 2. By invitation only, you are invited to join us on a donation-only basis (Satsuma Dojo members excepted).

Thursday, October 31
This 7:15pm-8:45pm class is for black and brown belts only. It is located in the multi-purpose room in the middle of the Columbia Middle School campus (adjacent to the CNC).

Saturday, November 2—Two classes will be offered on this day:

• 8:15am-10:00am for black and brown belts only
• 10:15am-12:00pm for all ranks

Fumitoshi Sensei is Soke Hirokazu Kanazawa’s youngest son and is a 5th degree black belt and the 2006 SKIF world kumite champion. He is an excellent technician, and we’re happy to have this opportunity to develop a closer relationship between him and the Bay Area Shotokan community as he begins to teach more and more across the world.

I hope you can join us for this special opportunity to train again with Fumitoshi Sensei.  j
