Welcome to the September 2010 Edition of the IOGKF Newsletter

 

It has been a time of highs and lows for the IOGKF between this and our last newsletter.

We celebrate the success of the 2010 Denmark European Gasshuku, as well as the excitement of the upcoming IOGKF World Gasshuku in Stellenbosch, South Africa.
We also take the time to mourn the loss of one of our founding members in Sensei John Lambert, along with Thailand representative, Sensei Geoff Pickup.

With high quality articles, photos and videos, the IOGKF International Newsletter continues to document traditional Karate at it’s best!
