Dear All Kodansha Senseis,

AUSKF and SEUSKF collaborated together to bring a Kodansha Seminar (5/4-5/5) in Atlanta, GA. We are inviting Yuji Onitsuka Sensei (7 dan Kyoshi) and Seiji Mamiya Sensei (7 dan Kyoshi) from AUSKF to conduct this seminar.

Seminar program include Mock Shinsa (for 5 dan/6 dan/7 dan candidates) and critique, series of group sessions (kihon & waza) and Godo Keiko to prepare you for future Kodansha Shinsa, not only for the examinees perspective but also from examiner’s perspective and insight.  

It will be a great opportunity for all Kodansha from all over the SEUSKF region as well as all over the AUSKF region to gather together.
