The MMU’s Japanese Language Society had organized The Japanese Cultural Night on March 2. My karate doukoukai was given an opportunity to put up a performance on that night. The lead was established in December last year and my students and I had been busying for the performance since January and especially after the Chinese New Year.

Tonight, it was finally over, after two weeks of preparation. IMHO, the performance was very good comparing to previous performance.

A team consisted of 4 best female students had been selected to perform in the Japanese Culture Night organized by MMU’s Japanese Language Society on March 2, 2008. The team was led by Adrian Senpai. This performance showcased full Uechi-ryu techniques and training culture of Okinawa. The team had performed the best show ever since the formation of Malaysia Uechi-ryu.

The demo team members were:

Allison Beh (MMU)
Ong Lee Ying (SMK Ayer Keroh)
Dalilah Mohmad Khaidar (Jasin)
Batrisyia Mohmad Khaidar (Jasin)
