I was privileged to attend Master Camp in the early 90s, when I was a nidan. Master Okazaki, a few years before, had sat my shodan exam. A wonderful person with a great sense of humor, incredible instructor and a legendary karateka. RIP, Sensei. I miss you so much.
What year? We might have been to same camp. He tested me for both Sho-Dan-1989 and Ni-Dan 1993. I attended Ohio State late 80s early 90s. I remember he flunked me-1988 on my first try for Sho-Dan...said my kata was not on par with my kihon/Ippon kumite. Sad to hear of his passing along with my other main Sensei Greer Golden.
Greetings to Teruyuki Okazaki, chair man of The International Shotokan Karate Federation ISKF, and tell him that ISKF México is waiting for him the next year 2008; a great knowledgment to his nephew Master Okazaki who came to Acapulco, Gro, México, to give us a great great seminary. Thanks for all. Sicerelly: G. Armendariz, ISKF México
Ich hatte die Ehre, Meister Kanazawa und Meister Ochi beide life kennenzulernen 🙏🍀🙏
Oss.
For god's sakes, Master Kanazawa is beside Master Okazaki. What a rare occurence... 2 true Karate Masters seating beside each other... WOW!

@@USGrant-rr2by I think it was 93. Great guy, great sensei. Unparalleled. US Grant? Please explain.
@@USGrant-rr2by Best I remember, it was '92 or 93. I was hanging out mostly with a group of NJ guys from Sensei Rielly's dojo in NJ outside of Philly.
