Hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits.
Thank you for registering for the International Gasshuku. I’m looking forward to seeing you in July. It will be a wonderful opportunity to do kumite with old friends and new acquaintances.
Recently, I have been talking with Aoki Sensei about his teaching program. He will teach two keiko for ISC members and the final keiko for all participants. He is considering a few options and in order to help him plan, he would appreciate it if we would share our “hopes and dreams” for the gasshuku with him.
Please take some time to think about Aoki Sensei’s request and reply to this email by APRIL 15, 2012.
Please write your reply in English, French or Japanese. We will translate. I will gather all our impressions and forward them to Aoki Sensei.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thanks for your help!!!
Jim Sterling, Director of Instruction
