Dear IOGKF Instructors, On behalf of myself and my dojo, I would like to invite you and your students to attend the Miyagi Chojun Festival 2017. I am deeply honored to once again be hosting this prestigious event in Spokane. I have lined up some outstanding international instructors to teach at this event. Not only do have the world chief instructor: Sensei Tetsuji Nakamura, but I also have Sensei Torben Svendsen from Denmark, Sensei Bob Smith from Bermuda and Sensei Gustava Tata from Agentina. In addition, Sensei George Seahorn and Sensei Mirko Buchwald will be teaching. The training will be at a caliber some of you have never experienced. It will truly be fantastic! I have two main objectives for the MCF: 1) To provide an event that emphasizes camaraderie and friendship among all IOGKF members. 2) To put together a dynamic training schedule that fosters growth, understanding and sweat! I am sure this year s MCF will more than meet your expectations! The training schedule provides every skill level and rank the opportunity to train extensively over the four days of the festival. I have included seven hours of training for our younger members age 6 12. They will have the opportunity to train with each of our special guest instructors as well as training with Sensei Steven Smith and Sensei Josiah Hanks. I have also included a special guest instructor seminar with Mr. Roy Harrington, who will be conducting a Tactical Knife Seminar. Some of you have trained with Mr. Harrington before and will no doubt want to train with him again. The event will be held at the Red Lion Hotel at the Park. The hotel has undergone extensive remodeling and is ideal for our needs. It is also centrally located in downtown Spokane, which makes it very convenient for shopping, dining and nightlife entertainment. It is my sincere desire to make the MCF 2017 a memorable event and everyone s stay in Spokane an enjoyable one. Near nature. Near perfect. It's more than a slogan in Spokane; it's a reality. With all the big city amenities you could wish for, fabulous natural beauty, shops and restaurants, Spokane has it all. I hope you and your students will consider this as not only a premier karate event, but also a part of your summer vacation plans. Sincerely, Gene Villa Chief Instructor IOGKF-USA The Family Karate Center ** Gene Villa, Instructor ** (509) 309-2978 ** www.spokanekarate.com
