SKIF Transitional Announcements

[sensei8]

Kanazawa Sensei is no longer the Kancho of the SKIF. No, he's now Soke!! His son, Nobuaki Kanazawa is now Kancho, and Manabu Murakami Sensei is now the Chief Instructor.

Check out their letters...

THIS, is how a transition is to be done!! My Hombu could learn a lot from how it's suppose to be done.

Congrats to Soke Kanazawa, Kancho Kanazawa, and CI Murakami on their transitions.

He must be chuffed - at least now he can be considered for possibly the highest accolade in his career - the sokeship council.

I don't think so.

Wow! Big news! I guess I shouldn't be surprised. This has been coming for a while. Being Kancho must have been getting very hard on him. I wish them a smooth transition.

Here's a link to a photo of my mother, Margie, with Kanazawa Kancho at the 2011 SKIF Nationals in San Francisco.

I don't think so either because I don't think Kanazawa Sensei became Soke of SKIF so that he could join the link you've noted. No, I think that it was a progressive transition in that he is still an active part of the SKIF, and after all, he is the founder of the SKIF!!
