Kefalonia Seminar

Last month I was lucky enough to travel over to Kefalonia where Sensei Eleni Labiri-Suzuki of Suzuki-ha Karate held a seminar with Sensei Gary Swift invited to teach.

It was my first time in the area, and I had an absolute blast getting to know all the students, get a taste for the cuisine, and enjoy the still-very-sunny weather. I look forward to returning again in the future

We covered the gumite-kata, Suparenepei and Seienchin over 3 days of training.

These courses may have space on the day, but it’s wise to put your name down ahead of time. You can do this by e-mailing Sensei Gary on garyswiftkyoshi@gmail.com.
