KARATE CLUB HKUSU PROUDLY PRESENTS
To celebrate the 100th
anniversary of the University of Hong Kong, Karate Club HKUSU held a
remarkable 6 hour seminar, with Shihan Masahiko Futawatari 二渡 政彥 (7th Dan) and his wife
Shihan Toshie Futawatari 二渡 利江(6th Dan) from Japan, on Saturday July 28th
at Flora Ho
Sports Centre from 1300pm to 2100pm. The seminar would not have been so successful without
the generous support of HKU CEDARS and IHP who provided the venue.
Shihan Masahiko Futawatari is currently the President of Goshin Kai (剛心會). He is also known
to be one of the most talented students of Saiko Shihan Goshi Yamaguchi (8th Dan) (最高師範
山口 剛史), the President of Japan Karate-do Goju-kai Association (JKGA) and International
Karate-do Goju-kai Association (IKGA).

SUCCESSFUL CENTENARY SEMINAR
Established in 1969, Karate Club HKUSU is one of HKU’s clubs and societies with the longest history. In
addition to the delightful celebration of HKU’s 100th
anniversary, the club was determined to promote the
great art of karate to more students through this invaluable seminar, and enhance the skills of current
HKU team members and learners.
About 200 karate students, mainly from HKU and some from the general public, have had widened their
horizons and reached a new level of martial arts by participating in the seminar.
1. Celebration of HKU 100th
Anniversary
Over the past century, HKU has committed itself to creating knowledge, providing education, and
serving society. Karate Club has celebrated the core values of its University and continued to serve by
holding the memorable Centenary Goju-Ryu Karate Seminar.
2. Inheritance of Goju-Ryu Karate
It has been our honor to have President and Shihan Futawatari of Goshin Kai from Japan to come to
HKU again, to teach us the great art of Karate, after our successful 2001 Karate Seminar.
3. Exchange of Goju-Ryu Karate
The seminar has provided a fruitful platform for all club members, team members, HKU staff and
students, other karate lovers, to strengthen their skills and enrich their knowledge through the martial
arts exchange.
4. Promotion of Goju-Ryu Karate
Karate is not simply physical exercises; it is an art that should be conserved and revitalized. Entering its
43rd
year, Karate Club HKUSU not only vows to train more martial arts elites, but endeavors to promote
the philosophy and spirit of Karate to more people. The club has achieved its goal in this seminar.

5. Training of HKU Team Members
The HKU Karate Team has won numerous awards in both local and international competitions. The
team is renowned for its excellence in the field, and more importantly the spirit of its members to excel.
The seminar was a good training opportunity for team members, as the Futawatari Shihans taught skills
highlighted in recent kumite (自由組手) competitions of the world karate championship, and kata (型) ,
which can be thought as a sequence of specific karate movements that address various types of attack and
defense under ideal circumstances.
In the seminar, the Futawatari Shihans have taught about 200 karate students, mainly from the
University of Hong Kong, world class kumite and kata techniques of Goju-ryu.

The Seminar started with a presentation of souvenirs to
the Futawatari Shihans by Mr. Simon Lo, Assistant
Director of IHP and our Coach Mr. Siegel Cheung.
Then all students were taken through a warm up and a good stretch which prepared us for the
session ahead.

Following warm up, Shihan Futawatari started on slow
hand & leg techniques, bunkai (分解 application of
fighting techniques) of basic kata Geikisai Dai Ichi (擊
碎一), numbering each move. After practising slowly
for several times, Shinhan sped up the tempo while
calling out the numbers of the moves. Quick and swift
techniques required us to work our minds and fully
concentrate. Everyone had a good sweat and a short
break was arranged for water and rest.

Then another bunkai of kata, Sanchin (三戰) , was taught.
We all paired up and started working on reaction work after
practice following Shihan several times. As one side came
in with a set of attacks, the other side react with a set of
blocks and counter-attacks. Shihan Futawatari led us
through the patterns and let us try out the whole set of
interactive movements with our partners.

Besides the application of kumite fighting techniques from Gekisai Dai Ichi & Sanchin, Shihan
Futawari had taught us how to master the intricacies of advanced techniques from kata Saifa (碎
破) , kata Seipai (十八手) and kata Suparinpei (一百零八手).
Several students were chosen to perform the kata and Shihan Futawari reminded us of every
important detail afterwards. In the six hours of invaluable teaching, Shihan Futawari demonstrated
the most genuine Goju-Ryu techniques to us.
All karate students have gained a lot from the seminar and we are encouraged to continue practise
what we have learnt from Shihan Futawari to enhance our own skills. The seminar has greatly
helped us to understand the application of fighting spirit and movements, and has further increased
participants’ interest in and love for karate.

We all took photos with Shihan Futawari at the end and sincerely hope they would visit HKU
again in the coming year. The seminar has been a remarkable experience for all karate students.
