Team Itosu-kai Sri Lanka at the front of Dolby Theater in Hollywood, CA, USA

November and December 2019 were very busy days for me. Last month (November 14-27) I visited Switzerland and helped them to conduct their 2nd annual Itosukai championship and also conducted a referee seminar too. From November 30 till 5th December, I was also in Nepal for the South Asian games. I was the chairman of the jury committee and assistant Tatami manager of the final day of the championship.

December 6-16 I brought my team to Newport Beach, Carifornia USA. It is because Sensei David Crockett organized a friendship match with itosu-kai Sri Lanka. I took 15 competitors and was able to win 9 first places, 9 second places and 11 third places. We are preparing to attend the 80th anniversary Championships in Yokohama, Japan next year.

Happy Holidays!
