On December 28, 2007, we had a Christmas/Holidays/New Year's Party at our Shinjinbukan New York Dōjō. Our training session/party included a few students, children and their parents. This was a celebration to honor my students in New York and in Europe. In 2007, my teacher, Onaga Yoshimitsu Kaichō, finalized the creation of the Shinjinbukan International Association and conducted several seminars around the world. As we start a new year, we look forward to many more trips & seminars.
