MASTERCLASS SEMINAR SERIES
Yahara 1st USA SEMINAR
(4 Volume Set 90 min each)
By Mikio Yahara
Yahara Sensei was born on April 4, 1947, in Ehime prefecture. After graduating from Kokushikan University, he became Kenshusei, or junior instructor, in the Japan Karate Association. Since 1987, he left the Japan Karate Association to set off on his own path.
He rampaged through the world, monopolizing the high rankings in many tournaments, establishing legendary fame. Known for his leopard-like carriage, beautiful jumping techniques and adaptations, his unique karate style fascinated karateka all over the world. He met Yohji Yamamoto, an admirer of his "killing blow" karate, and in April 2000 he established the Karatenomichi World Federation to develop further his idea of karate.
The concept behind the Karatenomichi World Federation is that the essence of karate is technical, and that exactly this is where karate starts. His karate philosophy is based on the conviction that karate is an art dedicated to developing ippon technique- the ability to deliver a single killing blow, and that Budo is founded on the ability to stake one’s life in a split second executing an offensive or defensive technique.
We strive towards these goals, which are very different from the types of sports karate that are increasingly commonplace.
Seminar includes: Basics, Kata, Bunkai & Kumite.
