Natsu Keiko 2007 was another great adventure for the Mojave
Branch of Yoshukai International Karate Association (YIKA)
Epifanio and his son Zachariah, Greg Jacobson, and myself caught
a red eye out of L.A. While we were waiting for the red eye we
saw John Cena waiting for the same flight to Florida he was kind
and very gracious and let me take pictures of him with both Greg
and Zachariah, which will stay in their memories for a lifetime.
Upon landing in the morning sun of Florida on
the 21st of June. We visited the Hombu Dojo in Titusville with
Ricky Copeland, took some photos and headed back to Tampa for
Camp 2007.
We had a great time even though we were running on empty. We had
the pleasure of Alfons Pinder and his student sharing
our Suite during Natsu Keiko.
Natsu Keiko is always a great learning event. We were able to
video over 5 hours of training and shot 650 photos. It was good
to see Sense receive the Masters Belt from the Board of
Directors and as always, he was very humble. It was good to see
him training us on the finer
points of Yoshukai several hours a day.
I must say I have seen a great change for the better in my
student Zachariah now that he is beginning to understand
Yoshukai.
Natsu Keiko should be a must for all children at Yoshukai, as
well as, humans world wide. It was, as always, a regenerating
experience for me.
