Very insightful tour conducted by Kenny, a 7th Dan Black Belt Sensei of Okinawan Karate himself ! The highlight was the informative & interactive tour the Okinawa Karate Museum & the 3 videos really shows the high story of the art’s origins & it’s grandmasters. Not just for karatekas, but anyone who has an interest in martial arts ! Included a great lunch at a famous soba house ! Highly recommended !

Mit Carlo hatten wir einen super freundlichen Guide. Interessant brachte er uns die Geschichte des Karate näher. Der Besuch im Okinawa Karate Visitors Memorial war sehr informativ. Gerne empfehlen wir Carlo als Guide weiter.
