Vancouver, BC – 2015 will be the 45th year that our Shihan, Sensei Akira Sato, has been teaching karate-do in Canada. As he has done every year, he will be leading our 45th Annual Karate-Do Beach Practice on Saturday, January 17, 2015, 1 to 2 PM, at English Bay.
This is our karate-do version of the Polar Bear Swim. At 1 o’clock sharp, we will begin a practice much like our regular dojo practices, except that we will be outside on the beach. We will begin with a meditation, then we will practice our kicks, punches, and blocks. We will continue with pair work and kata (forms). Finally, we will do a group run on the beach before we finish with walking basics, in and out of the surf. Freezing fun for all.
This will be the first of a few social events for our karate-do association’s celebration of Sensei Sato’s 45th year teaching in Canada. Later in the year, we will also have our 16th Sato Cup Invitational Tournament – look for us in the fall.
