The long week-end from the 17 to the 19 of April was really busy for Shihan Andrea Stoppa, who travelled from Pordenone to the Veneto region for a 3 days seminar.
Shihan Andrea was invited by Sempai Massimiliano Soava, student of Shihan Fabrizio Lazzarin.
Shihan Lazzarin is the head master of the Kurosihi Ryu, a multi-discipline Budo school, in which people study modern and traditional (Hakko-ryu) Jujutsu, Karate and Kobujutsu.
Shihan Lazzarin is a true master, who was able to create a strong and dynamic group, which join together budokai and who have not only good technique, but god manner and an open mind, which is the true IBK style!
More than 50 people participated in the lessons taught by Shihan Andrea, who showed the effectiveness of Kyokushin Budokai, the most complete All Round Fighting style in the world.
People were really enthusiast about the seminar, and were impressed by the history of Kaicho’s life, that made him a living legend in Budo.
Now IBK can count on new friends for the future events.
Shihan Andrea, always with his wife Francesca, spent some time in Verona with Sempai Massimiliano.
Verona, one of the most beautiful towns in Italy for highly respected architecture and history,  is the world famous town of Giulietta & Romeo ( in English Romeo & Juliet, but Italian people are  gentlemen, and they always mention a female name before the male name…), and in the picture you can see the famous balcony of Juliet.
And, if you can come in Italy, plan to attend the Summer training camp in Pordenone, which is scheduled from 27th to the 30th of August.  Instructors will be Shihan Andrea and Alexandre “Batatinha” Vasconcelos, leader of Gracie Barra Brazilian JiuJitsu for Italy.
Information concerning the Summer Training Camp will be published soon so keep in touch with this the IBK official web-site!
