I trained with Kanazawa Sensei in 2002 (there or there abouts). A group of Shotokan guys got together with our KSI group and suggested we request for Kanazawa Sensei to visit us in Cape Town. It was a real eye opener being taught by a 10th Dan - even though he is Shotokan and we are Kimura Shukokai. It's always good to be exposed to other styles and what they deem to be important in terms of technique. It was also probably the first time a group of Shotokan karateka and Kimura Shukokai karateka trained together in the same dojo for something other than an All Styles squad training. Needless to say it was enjoyed by all and the dinner we had at the hotel afterward was equally as enjoyable.
