US Federation Super Visit!

On August 14 we were extremely fortunate to have a visit from seven members of the Orange County, Los Angeles and Yuma Branches of the US Federation.


The delegation was organized by Rastogi sensei of Orange County Branch - a long time friend of ours.


Our joint practice was superb - we really enjoyed being able to pair up with the expert kenshi from California and Arizona.



Rastogi sensei gave us a heart-warming lecture on what Shorinji Kempo means to him and his motivation for teaching.


Finally, the delegates gave us a bunch of great swag!



It really doesn't get any better than this!
