The schedule was quite tight. Aside from training and sightseeing the participation in the Kobud\u00f4 World Tournament and DAN examinations were also major points. The training took place in the fortunately well air-conditioned Bud\u00f4kan. As always Sensei emphasised the correct execution of the B\u00d4-no-Kihon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On August 1st the „2015 Okinawa Traditional Kobud\u00f4 World Tournament“ took place, organised by the „Okinawa Ken Kobud\u00f4 Renmei“. 140 competitors from 14 nations participated in several categories, namely B\u00d4- or SAI-KATA single (male or female) as well as the age groups Junior, Junior High, Adult and Senior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
