I first wanted to take a look and see how a training was build up . I met Sensei Shinya and asked him if it was OK to stay and watch . He told me to participate but i didn't had any training gear with me .

Training was build up very traditional but with a lot new elements . Kihon had a lot of modern...

I finally met Dobbersky-san in person a few days ago . He was a bit different from what i imagined him . How difficult is it to put a face on just a name.
We had some chit-chat and a coffee and made an appointment for the week to come .

He was so kind to come and pick me up today and to take me to the Main Dojo of Ashihara UK .
I witnessed karate kid class and was delighted to see them at training .
Think i counted twenty-some .

With 4 instructors...

In the month of May and June i will be abroad for several weeks for work.
I contacted members on the forum to ask if i could visit them for a training session ( or a few ; ).
So far Dobbersky-san (Ashihara in Manchester) and Sonny Crocket ( Kudo in Paris) replied . Still waiting for an answer from Seidokaikan near Leipzig Germany( Not a member yet ) and Kudo UK .
