More video footage of Asai Sensei...

I've just uploaded some more footage on YouTube, of Asai Sensei, as it is Sensei's first memorial, exactly this time next week. The official, nationally televised, TV New Zealand Interview, will still be made public next week, on the 15th (the International Asai Tetsuhiko Memorial Day). This is therefore, hopefully a 'treat', for all of you who have been supporting my endeavours, on this website.

I am sure it is completely clear that one of the main targets of this blog, is to keep 'authentic' Asai style karate alive, so I truly hope to continue offering written, photographic, and video contributions, which assist in this task.

Bigger than any individual in karate, including my late teacher, is the fact that each person finds their 'own way' in the martial arts. This was the example, that Asai Sensei left for us, and we should most certainly follow, to the best of our abilities.
