After two completely canceled editions due to covid and last year’s one-day camp only, exclusively with Belgian instructors, we as the organization were very pleased to welcome back this year several instructors from JKA Headquarters: Mori sensei, Taniyama sensei and Igarashi sensei. It is now 30 years since S. Miyazaki Shihan left us, but his spirit lives in Belgium up to the present time. He still holds a special place in hearts of Belgian karatekas.

Jorgen Bura Shihan, 8th Dan, passed away on 9th July 2023. He devoted himself to developing and promoting JKA Karate-do in Europe as well as Denmark during his lifetime. He led Karate in Europe as an excellent Karateka and supported JKA HQ with his competence as the member of Shihan-kai and the International Board of Directors. We feel that Japan Karate Association lost the great treasure. It’s impossible to imagine the sadness and sense of loss of his family and members of JKA Denmark. We would like to pray for the repose of his soul and offer you all our deepest condolences.

Classes on Saturdays are cancelled. We have no class on Sunday and Japanese holiday as usual.
