Kanazawa Sensei Interview

Back in 1993, when I was living and training in Japan, I had the opportunity to attend the International Budo University’s 5th International Seminar on Budo Culture. One of the masters present was Master Hirokazu Kanazawa, head of the Shotokan Karate International Federation . A talented and dynamic karateka, Kanazawa Sensei was the perfect ambassador for Japanese karate to this international group.

A couple of weeks after the seminar, Kanazawa sensei invited me to his dojo in Tokyo where I conducted an interview for the magazine Australasian Fighting Arts. As this magazine is now sadly no more, I have posted the interview here on Essential Karate News for reference.

Enjoy this interview with Master Hirokazu Kanazawa.
