— Meet Your Sensei —
Hirokazu Inada is a national champion who won the All-Japan tournament in 6th grade, the first ever from his Kagoshima dojo. This is not a tourist show: real karate, taught by a champion, in an authentic home dojo.
— What to Expect (about 60 min) —
1. Welcome (5 min): learn "rei", the soul of karate.
2. Change into a dogi (5 min): feel how you stand once the obi is tied.
3. Kihon (15 min): the basic stances and strikes of Renshinkan.
4. A simple kata (15 min): move like a samurai.
5. Board breaking (15 min): the unforgettable moment, captured on camera.
6. Certificate & Kagoshima green tea (5 min).
— Cruise Passengers Welcome —
