Hanshi Yoshio Kuba Okinawa Goju-Ryu Karate-Do 10. dan, Vice president of Okinawa Karate-Do Rengo-Kai,President of the Japan Acupressure Association
First of all, I wish to thank to the Prime Minister’s Office – Bethlen Gábor Alapkezelő Zrt, to the local government of Pesterzsébet, and to Gyula Földesi Member of Hungarian Parliament, for their support and effort in the organization of the Okinawan Days in Pesterzsébet. In the past, Okinawa was the center of the Ryukyu Kingdom. This kingdom was autonomous and had its own culture. Since the Ryukyu Kingdom lives between Japan and China, the two neighboring countries’ culture, religion, martial arts, and dance affected the kingdom. Okinawan culture has evolved as a result of these influences. At this event in Budapest, we are going to present one element of this cultural heritage: Okinawan Karate. I am very pleased and proud to be part of this event as an Okinawan Karate Master. Karate has its roots in Chinese martial arts. Karate has evolved into a system as a result of different cultures, and it has undergone several interesting technical changes over the years. Karate was later brought to Japan (Honshu Island) and went through additional technical changes before becoming the Karate we know today. I am really happy that today the three biggest Okinawan karate styles (Shuri/Tomari-Te, Goju-Ryu, and Uechi-Ryu) can be presented at the same time. For us, the presentation of the original Okinawan Karate styles means that the culture of Ryukyu lives on. I would like to show my gratitude to my student László Harsányi Shihan for organizing this event.

Támogatóink
DR. János Mészáros President of Hungarian Karate Federation
On behalf of the Hungarian Karate Federation, I would like to welcome you to the Okinawan Days. Our association considers it of utmost importance to cultivate the sports of Karate and Budo, the eastern traditions, to pass on the values of Japanese traditions, especially to young people, such as respect, discipline, perseverance, diligence, willpower and the spirit of fair play, which are important values in today’s fast-paced world, at school, at work and in everyday life. The Hungarian Karate Federation has a long tradition and cooperation agreements with several Japanese prefectures, such as Tochigi during the Tokyo Olympics and Okinawa, where our athletes have already participated in joint programmes. Special thanks go to sensei László Harsányi, whose traditional activities strengthen the knowledge and learning of karate and budo in Pesterzsébet, and who has contributed significantly to the successful organization of the Okinawan Days. I wish you to gain precious experiences on the Okinawan Days, which will be a useful “companion” in the cultivation of the sport of karate and in overcoming the challenges of everyday life, and I wish the event to be successful.
CHIEF PATRON
Mr. Gyula Földesi, member of Hungarian Parliament
I am very pleased that there is such significant sports scene in our district, this scene’s next stop is the Okinawan days. I would like to express my gratitude to Lászlo Harsányi, the head instructor of International Goju-Ryu Karate-Do Sakura-Kai and the president of the Hungarian Goju-Ryu Karate-Do Association for his contributions, so that this significant seminar can become reality. Within this event, the finest representatives of this sport will come to Pesterzsébet. The sport teaches you to fight, encourages you to not give up, and to stand up after every defeat, since every competition is a new opportunity to challenge and improve. The sport teaches you discipline and gives you goals. The goals and the future are not only important for the county and nation, but for the community and for each of us personally. We warmly invite and welcome all those who are interested in karate!
PATRON
Mr. Ákos Szabados, Mayor of Pesterzsébet
According to a karate master, within martial arts, karate’s final goal does not lie in the duality of victory or defeat, but in the struggle between the two participants perfecting their own character. Yet, most of the time we experience these struggles as fights, even though the goal is not to defeat the opponent, but to make to make the most of ourselves for something that is much bigger than ourselves. The sports life of Pesterzsébet is much more the multitude of struggles. It is a social scene that creates value from success and forges virtue from struggle. It a great pleasure form me that representatives of an art that has such a long history and a great event, based on the principles of Eastern philosophy will be present in Pesterzsébet at the same time, thus strengthening our aspiration for a nobler and more complete life
