RE: Academic Seminar Budo Sai 2008
I am looking forward with great anticipation to meeting again next summer for World Budo Sai 2008. For those of you who came to Okinawa in 2004, as well as, those who will attend for the first time next year we are confident of an even bigger and better world event.
To this purpose, we are conducting an Academic Seminar for the first time. I
encourage all instructors and students to participate. I wish to utilize the significant talents of our IOGKF members to assist in education and dissemination of relevant information across our organization. If you or any of your students wishes to submit a paper for consideration, please visit our website for submittal procedures. I believe that this seminar will help make our organization even stronger.
I look forward to seeing you in Naha.
Sincerely,
Morio Higaonna
Chief Instructor and Chairman
