Iwata Cup - Toronto 2006 |
30-04-2006 |
|
Our 3rd invitation to the Iwata Cup proved extra special this year being the 15th anniversary of Shito-Kai Canada headed by Sam Moledzki sensei. To mark the special occassion Kunio Murayama sensei was guest of honour and provided the Brits with their second chance in one year to train with the great master. |
|
As you will see from the photos below the team enjoyed great success on and off the tatami. The tour was an ideal combination of training, friendly competition and sight seeing. The CN tower, Niagara Falls and the Blue Jays famous stadium were all taken in by the team who enjoyed every minute. |
|
My sincere thanks to our host Moledzki sensei, his wife Sandi and to his loyal students who all worked tirelessly to ensure our visit was a good one. Thank you also to Murayama sensei for your continued guidance and inspiration. Finally to sensei Steve Bolland whose precission and proficiency in organising the tour allowed the rest of us to just relax and enjoy the experience, arrigato. |
PS. Well done the Brits, you did us proud again.
