Hirokazu Kanazawa 10th Dan
Master Hirokazu Kanazawa 10th Dan is a true karate master and gentleman. To me Master Kanazawa is what the martial arts are all about. Do not get me wrong, the fighting side of the martial arts is important, but now I am getting older, I look to the old masters for guidance and many of them steer away from fighting and move towards the health side of karate.
Health is everything, and there is nothing better than karate classes for a healthy mind and body. Where I live it is very quiet, if I lived somewhere more dangerous, my days would definitely be spent practicing kumite, however old I was.

The Jion kata below is the shotokan karate version of the kata. Jion is a very physical kata and is the second longest brown belt kata after Kanku Dai. Although the karate moves are mainly basic, there are some advanced techniques within the kata. If you are learning karate at home, jion is a good training kata.
