Karate Kids in Japan

My name is Kanai Seikon. I'm the head of the Okayama Prefecture's largest dojo, the Japan Karate Association. I started when I was 12 years old. I first met my teacher, Hitoshiyu Akiyama, near my house. He influenced me to start karate. In 1948, Hitoshiyu Akiyama started this dojo. It's a dojo with a long history. I'm the third generation. I've been in charge of this dojo since I was 25. The kids are so cute. I want to teach them well. That's what I want to do. There are a lot of competitions now. I want them to compete and win. That's why I started teaching karate. It's not just that. You can make a lot of friends. You can connect with people. I think it's great that the network is expanding. My sister was doing it. I thought it was cool, so I started. There's someone I admire. He won first place in the world. I thought it was great, so I started. My dad's friend recommended it to me. I thought it was fun, so I started. I don't ask much at school. When I come to the dojo, there are more girls than boys. I feel like I'm doing it normally. In reality, I may lose. I may lose, but I may win. I don't want to lose. I feel like I'm going to win. Boys lose in competitions. I don't feel like I'm going to lose. I do kumite. I can do Aotan. I can fall. I was carried by an ambulance in a competition. I'm afraid of that. I feel like I'm going to lose. Karate is fun and difficult. But if you do it now, you will be able to do it when you grow up. You can try it once. Hikari is cheerful. Sometimes it's fun to make fun of people. Saki is... She often says what I say. Sometimes it's like a manzai. It's about the characteristics of karate. Hikari is strong. Saki has a great shoulder. In a competition, I'm a rival. In kumite, I'm a friend. In kumite, I'm a rival. In kumite, I'm a friend. In kumite, I'm a rival. In kumite, I'm a friend. There may not be much difference in the competition in the prefecture. In the competition in the prefecture, there are strong people. In the prefecture, there are strong people. It is difficult to win in the country. But I always want to win. In the competition, there is no pride. I think he is so good at it that there are no words for it. When it comes to a match, I want to win and win over people. When I do karate, my pride is very high. Yes, it is. Mr. Kanai is very interesting. He is very good at teaching small children. We, the junior high school students, can easily understand him. As Saki-chan said, he is good at teaching small children. Sometimes he says harsh things, but he also says a lot of interesting things. Thanks to Mr. Kanai, he is probably getting better. I think karate is also interesting. There are many groups like karate. Some people wonder what karate is. We are the first to teach karate in Japan. Recently, there have been a lot of competitions. But it's not just about winning. Through karate, we have to grow as human beings. Of course, by doing karate, we can win competitions. That's why I think competition is important. I think it would be good if people could enjoy karate. I think it would be good if people could enjoy karate. There are many parents and children who want to start karate. The first thing is that they want to get stronger. There are many parents and children who want to get stronger. I think that's good. If you want to get stronger, you have to bully your children. Some children come to the dojo because they are bullied at school. But we have to get stronger mentally. We have to train them through practice. I think we are trying to get through that.
