WORKSHOP: 2:00- 5:00pm EDT

The Workshop is open to all Nikyu (Brown Belt) and above, Beikoku Association Members only.

This is an excellent opportunity for all students and teachers to prepare for their next Dan rank examination. This workshop is in place of our previous first pre-test, giving both the candidate and pre-exam board a chance to work together.

 

There is no cost for this workshop if you attend the seminar. The expectation is that all students on the dan exam list will attend both the seminar and workshop.

(All Pre-testing Candidates must attend the Workshop.)

GRAND MASTER SEIKICHI IHA

HANSHI 10th DAN
BEIKOKU SHIDOKAN FOUNDER

Passed away at age 92

1932-2024
On August 3, 2024, Grand Master SEIKICHI IHA, Hanshi 10th Dan, passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by his children and many friends.  Words fail me to adequately express the incredible sadness and empty feeling I have, learning of the death of my beloved teacher Sensei Iha.  Sensei Iha was a world renowned teacher of teachers, legendary master of karate whose memory and legacy will live on in the karateka and their students/descendants who loved, respected and admired him.  The impact he made on the martial arts world is immeasurable.  But even more significant, he was a loving father, brother and son, as well as an esteemed mentor and treasured friend to countless men and women on a global level.  I had the honor and privilege to have even known him but also the great fortune to have been his student, devotee and friend for 35 years.
