We are thrilled to announce that South Africa will proudly participate in the Tenshinkan Karate Japan Championships Tour 2026, taking place this June at the revered Honbu Dojo in Hasuda, Japan.

This prestigious event will be led by:

• Kancho Mamoru Miwa (10th Dan) – World Chief Instructor and Founder of Tenshinkan Karate

• Hanshi Attie Coetzer (9th Dan) – South African Chief Instructor and World Liaison Officer

Together, this elite team will guide students through intensive training sessions, offering profound insights into the art and spirit of traditional Tenshinkan Karate.

This tour is more than a tournament – it is a celebration of unity, discipline, and the enduring values of Tenshinkan Karate. It is a bridge between continents, a cultural immersion, and a testament to the power of Karate to connect and uplift.

As representatives of South Africa, your presence symbolizes dedication, humility, and unwavering spirit. Train hard, compete with honor, and carry the Tenshinkan Karate name with pride and strength. Let every step, every strike, and every breath reflect the legacy we uphold.

We stand behind you with deep respect and admiration. May your journey in Japan be filled with powerful training, cultural enrichment, and lasting memories.

Keep the Tenshinkan flame burning bright. Make us proud. 

OSS!
