On October 5, 2019, a seminar was held to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Italian Center for Okinawan Traditional Shorin-ryu Karate. In addition to some of the practitioners of the aforementioned school (Shorin-ryu and Kobudo Ryukonkai), other members of the Okinawa Karate Kenkyukai attended the event: Master Gaetano Palumbo (Uechi-ryu Okikukai) from Milan, who practiced with us; the Master Miguel Carballo (Karate-do Miyazato) from Loppiano (not yet a member of the OKK) and the Master Santiago Sacaba (Seitokan Shorin-ryu) from Varese, who participated in the final pizza party.
The first part of the seminar was dedicated to Kobudo Ryukonkai, taught by Master Marco Valerio, assisted by Pietro Di Carlo. The lesson focused on the use of the Rokushaku bo (stick of 182 cm).
