Training at the Hawaii Dojo

　

Sempai Dawn-Leah McDonald and Stuart Corrigal were fortunate to attend training on May 13, at the first and oldest Kyokushin Karate overseas dojo sanctioned by Kyokushin Karate founder, Sosai Mas Oyama.  The Hawaii Kyokushin dojo of Shihan Bobby Lowe has been open and training since the early 1950's.

　

On holidays in tropical Hawaii, but never far from a Kyokushin dojo, both IKOKC members added to the training spirit always evident at Shihan Lowe's dojo.  Although Shihan Lowe has had some health setbacks over the past couple of years, he continues to attend classes regularly on Thursday evenings.  

　

Make no mistake, Shihan is always ready and able to add his voice and many years of experience and knowledge to the class should the training vary from what he learned many years ago from his instructor, good friend, mentor and founder of Kyokushin Karate, Sosai Mas Oyama.

　

Many thanks and best wishes to all the Hawaii dojo members for making us feel so at home.  Continued best wishes to Shihan and his family for their health and prosperity in the future.
