Five years ago, Syuseki-Shihan Tetsuhiko Asai (10th Dan) the founder of our dojo and organisation New Zealand passed away.
++++++++++
Once again we held the official New Zealand annual Asai Sensei Memorial in Christchurch which was a great opportunity to pay our respects. The training was hard but enjoyed by all, even though a number of people were absent due to the delays from the snow.
There is a report and video on Andre Sensei's blog: http://andrebertel.blogspot.com/2011/08/5th-asai-sensei-memorial-ijka-new_24.html
