42ND ANNUAL ISKF MASTER CAMP 2008 INTERNATIONAL GOODWILL TOURNAMENT JUNE 6 - 13 AT CAMP GREEN LANE, PENNSYLVANIA, U.S.A. INTERNATIONAL SHOTOKAN KARATE FEDERATION Greetings; It is my pleasure to welcome everyone to our 42nd ISKF Master Camp and International Goodwill Tournament. Our theme for this year's Master Camp is "Tekki ni yotte tenka seyo" - Move according to your opponent. You may initially take this literally, and think it means only in kumite. However, before you can apply this principle to kumite you must first learn to become flexible mentally so that you can adapt to a situation as it changes. It teaches us to be calm, have a clear mind and react naturally without thinking of a strategy. If you learn to keep an open mind to better respond to every situa- tion, this will bring you success both in kumite and in your every day life. This theme can also be applied to the changes happening in the ISKF. As you know we have become an independent organization. While we will strive to remain a traditional martial arts organization, in order to grow we must be flexible and open to all things around us without ego or judgment. We have always been an international organization, now we will be a universal organization with many more cultures in our expanding ISKF family. The success and expansion of the ISKF is due to the dedication and expertise of our esteemed instructors, but more than that it is because of the many loyal and enthusiastic members many of whom have remained steadfast and sincere. I know I can count on our veterans to wel- come our new ISKF family members and show them how great our organization is. I would like to extend a heartfelt warm welcome to our new members to our 42nd ISKF Master Camp as well as to our returning members. This is the only weeklong Shotokan Karate training camp with so many high-ranking instructors. This year we are very fortu- nate to have Master Hirokazu Kanazawa from Japan returning and sharing his great instruction along with our esteemed ISKF Master Yutaka Yaguchi as well as our Technical Committee, the ISKF high- er ranking qualified instructors. I welcome all of you, from beginner to black belt, to join us this year at our 42nd ISKF Master Camp and International Goodwill Tournament. It is a very exciting time for the ISKF and I hope to see all of you there and share this time with us. Sincerely, Teruyuki Okazaki Chairman and Chief Instructor International Shotokan Karate Federation 1 DATE: that all ISKF member countries are represented at this 42nd Annual ISKF Master Camp 2008 is in session from meeting.
