Since joining Master Higaonna and bringing India
into the IOGKF, Sensei
Mistry has taught in countries all over the world. He
has become a regular addition at all major IOGKF
events. He has also written
popular books.
In 2012, he successfully
passed the test for 8th Dan
in Okinawan Goju-ryu.
Half a century of continuing to provide martial arts through Indian Dojo’s,
Schools and the military is an extraordinary achievement and one that does
not go unnoticed by IOGKF International’s founder.
To mark this special anniversary IOGKF India has been given permission to
hold a special chief instructors Gasshuku and an International Gasshuku in
Jaipur, India. Master Morio Higaonna, Sensei Tetsuji Nakamura, Sensei Ernie
Molyneux and other senior IOGKF International instructors will be traveling
to India to celebrate with Sensei Mistry.
Both of these major events will be held in Jaipur. The largest city of Northern
India which was created in 1792. Jaipur has become the home to over 3.1
Million people. Its ancient Indian architecture coupled with the natural beauty
of the area has led to Jaipur gaining the nick name of the ’pink city’.
In 2007, IOGKF India held a major event in Goa with Master Higaonna and
the event was a great success. The Academy of Martial Arts is working hard to
try and surpass the efforts of their last event in a bid to make this Gasshuku
one like no other.
