The International Presidency of Yudansha Kobujitsu Karate-do Federation, in collaboration with the YKKF Armenia is glad to invite you at his annual international seminar named "YKKF International Symposium & Gasshuku". With this event we reached a new edition that will precede with great success the 2009 edition of Havana (Cuba), 2010 Lugano (Switzerland) and 2011 Venice (Italy). We choose as location of this seminar the Indoor Stadium of the Armenian capital city, Yerevan.
This event is, for the YKKF, the most important of the year; some of our most respected teachers, under the guidance of Saiko Shihan Ron M. Yamanaka (9th dan) Chairman and founder of our federation, will be present to the Gasshuku and will share their knowledge of the traditional Budo martial arts with all the partecipants.
We would be very glad to have the opportunity to meet together again during this world great appoinment of divulgation of martial arts.
The sincere spirit of humility, fraternity and honour that has always distinguished the members of our International organization, gives the welcome to who wishes to share our martial arts experience and join us in an amusing trip to visit this attractive and historical place. Armenia is a small republic in the Caucasus, rich in treasures from natural landscapes to antique monasteries. It is dominated by the biblical Mt.Ararat, which at the height of 5165m was believed to be the mountain on which Noah first set down his ark after the great Flood.
