Notes/コメント:

Karate Do Kazumi Dojo is headed by one of my favorite Kyokushin Karate fighters, Hajime Kazumi. Kazumi was a 5 time All Japan Champion and came in 2nd in both the 6th and 7th IKO-1 World Tournaments. During his fighting career, he never finished outside of the top two spots. He focused on developing his low kicks and became one of the hardest and most successful low kickers in Karate history. I have tried to model my own leg kicks after Kazumi’s and like to think they work on my opponents. Kazumi resigned from the IKO-1 in the early 2000’s and started his own style where he focuses on kata and incorporates elements of Tai Chi.

I went to visit the Kazumi Dojo on my second to last day in Japan last year while I was coming back from Kamakura. I just wanted to take a picture of the outside and then post it on Instagram. When I arrived, an elementary school aged student parked his bike on the sidewalk and went upstairs. A few minutes later, Kazumi Shihan came down and told the student to fix his bike, because it was in the middle of the sidewalk. As they were heading back to the dojo, I stopped him and said that I was a big fan. He asked how long I had been training and invited me up to dojo. I spoke with Kazumi Shihan for a couple more minutes and then asked for a picture. As there was no one else around, we took a selfie in front of the kamidana. This was truly a unexpected opportunity and a total dream come true. It’s not often that you get to meet one of your favorite fighters and tell him how much you have modeled your Karate after his.

His dojo is about a 10 minute bus ride from JR Kawasaki Station.
