Joint Training Seminar - Havana Cuba



On Feb 25 - Mar 4, 2011. Sensei Eric Marn and myself will be traveling to Havana, Cuba.
For a joint training seminar with three (3) different factions of the Martial Arts in a week long event.  Town groups from all of Cuba have been asked to attend. They will consist of ...
The Cuban Shotokan Association, The Cuban Goju Association and The Cuban Kali / Escrima Association.
This joint training will be the first of its kind for Cuba in bringing these associations together.
Truly a fantastic feat for the Martial Arts of Cuba.
Attached is a flyer that the Cuban Martial Arts has sent out and signed by the three major groups presidents.

I will be sharing / updating our trip on my blog.
Oss, Sensei Jann

 Attached is the joint notice from three martial arts schools to all of the Shotokan Karate, Kali/Escrima and Goju Kan schools. The notice will be sent by email sent to all the members of these three Associations in Cuba. The Spanish words read:
