2019 Martial Arts Journey to Japan
by
Sensei Jose Caracena and Sensei Gabriel Garcia Munoz International Ambassadors..!!

Dear Colleagues,
Earlier this summer 2019, during the International Conference on Jigoro Kano Shihan in Valencia, Spain, I was informed By Sensei Caracena that he would soon be traveling to Japan along with Sensei Gabriel Garcia Munoz to train for about 6 weeks. Jose would train in an old and very famous school of Jujutsu in the Japan's countryside and also Traditional Kodokan Judo in the Kodokan Judo Institute. Meanwhile, Gabriel would be training in Kenjutsu and Bujutsu in the Japanese Samurai School that he has been affiliated with for many years. My response to this announcement was to express my Great Envy and Best Wishes to Jose and Gabriel on their Grand Journey to Japan and upcoming martial arts training. I am very proud of these two USJJF and USA TKJ Senior Ambassadors touring and training in the Japan.
Below is a photo gallery of their wonderful journey, touring and training in the mother counrty of the martial arts..!! It must be a Great Chapter in their Life Long Journey in the Martial Arts..!!
Best Wishes,
Bruce R. Bethers
