Thank You to the Penn State Japanese Friendship Association for inviting the Penn State Karate Club to participate in their 2022 Matsuri event earlier this month.
A few brave audience members joined us on stage for the participation part of our presentation. Here they are going through Fukyugata Dai Ichi, a special introductory kata developed by Master Shoshin Nagamine (長嶺 将真) in the 1940s to help promote Okinawan Karate.
Matsuri 2021 hosted by the Japanese Friendship Association starts at 3PM today and goes until 5:30. Enjoy different examples of Japanese culture at PSU presented by various clubs.
