Hey Everyone...It's been a while to come to this blog... How is everyone doing?
I got quite a few emails asking me if I abandoned this blogsite. The answer is no, my intention is to blog more often but my schedule is a bit too binding. And this is my son's final year in high school... Ya! So my time was occupied with his decision to go to university or work or both...
As for Honbu we are all doing fine. There is steady support from the black belts and interestingly, all of them trained at Honbu under Sosai but never went on to open a dojo or become a branch chief. Some were recruited but had to forego the chance for one reason or another. It is nice to see and feel the camaraderie with Kancho.
Oh another news is my husband formerly Yoshikazu Suzuki, legally changed his last name to Oyama. So if anyone wonders getting his name card or hearing thru the grapevines, it is not just nickname we randomly picked for him to call himself. Lol. Seriously, it was huge decision for him. He had been thinking a while (and he does take his time deciding) even though he does not say much to me.
In his welcome speech at my father's 20th Memorial Ceremony held at both Gokokuji Temple (family and close relations only) and celebrated IKO Kyokushinkaikan Honbu's 50th year, I felt it was his own way of publicly renewing his commitment to Mas Oyama's Kyokushin Karate.
I just had to go back and see when I wrote my last blog, and it was 7months ago!
Wow.
I have twitter account but is is not public so let me know if you want to follow me. Or email me if you want to ask me questions or want me to address any topic you want to ask.
I have been blogging more steadily at Ameba blog site but it is mostly in Japanese but do visit if you are interested.
Take care,
K
