Answer

Would like to see the 100 kata day become a Challenge for Charity Fundrasing. ie each participating dojo rasies money for a charity of their choice and challenges another dojo to do same. THis would be in keeping with the spirit of karate-do -- to spread goodwill and help others. Could also lend itself to going viral on social media like the ALS water bucket challenge. — 0.4% (1 votes)

Improving Mochi-bun (Okinawan word for ability to understand) by each individual studying their favorite kata for 8 hours getting guidance from the top experts in their field. Most people don't need to learn anything new. They need to understand better what they already know. — 0% (0 votes)

Answer

if you are asking about events for a 2016 visit then this poll should stick subjects during that event only. I would like to see some legitimate defense against firearm and bladed weapons added. I feel we are very deficient regarding this area. Additionally, traditional hojo undo training should included. — 0% (0 votes)
