Szczecin, POLAND SEMINAR 2025 (Part One)

Attendees on the first day of the Szezezin, Poland 2025 Seminar.

I just completed conducting my first Budo Karate Technical Seminar in Poland, which hosted by the UKS POMERANIA SZCZECIN karate club.

Here’s a link to their official website: https://karateklub.szczecin.pl and Facebook page: https://m.facebook.com/karatepomerania/

For the majority of karateka attending, it was the first time to train with me, so it was great to make many new friends through each keiko. Due to this, I structured the sessions around the base of my karate—handed down from Asai Tetsuhiko Sensei and my other Shotokan mentors in Japan.

It was also super to catch up with several longtime friends.


I’d especially like to thank Paweł Karpow Sensei, chief instructor of Karate Pomerania; his wife Olga; and Arsenij Karpow Sensei. Furthermore, I’d like to thank all the members and supporters of UKS Pomerania Karate, and all those who attended the seminar.


My hope is that this seminar contributed to Karate by spreading traditional Shotokan knowledge directly from Japan; moreover, that each individual who attended can improve their skills from what was taught.

Members of the host UKS POMERANIA SZCZECIN karate club.

Best wishes from IKS Sohonbu Dojo, Japan.

押忍!
