Bruno Koller Shihan (IJKA 8th Dan) recently contacted me to say he is officially opening an IJKA Honbu Dojo in Lucerne, Switzerland (please click on the attached poster). This dojo will officially be the headquarters of International Japan Karate Asai-ryu for all of Europe.Bruno Shihan is a long-time uchideshi (close personal student) of Shuseki-Shihan Tetsuhiko Asai who is internationally second to none in IJKA-karate; therefore, it will be a special place for all Asai-ryu karateka for not only in Europe but also for karateka from all over the world (who wish to correctly study Asai-ha Shotokan-ryu Karatedo).
Omedetou gozaimasu Bruno Shihan! Osu, Andre.
