Congratulations, WSK Sekishinkan Team!

A huge well done to all our athletes who represented WSK Sekishinkan at the 52nd Steveston Karate Tournament on March 15, 2025! Your hard work, dedication, and fighting spirit truly shone. We are proud to announce an outstanding achievement of:

8 Gold Medals
6 Silver Medals
11 Bronze Medals

Excellent job! You have all displayed the true essence of karate—discipline, perseverance, and respect. To those who didn’t achieve their expected results this time, keep your spirits high! Every experience is a step toward growth and improvement. Stay determined, keep training, and come back even stronger! Osu!

For our new members, you are about to begin a journey that will challenge you physically, mentally, and emotionally. You will learn to push beyond your limits, to face challenges with courage, and to grow in ways you may never have imagined. The instructors and senior students are here to support you every step of the way, ensuring that you have the guidance you need to succeed.

To our returning members, your continued dedication is a testament to your strength and perseverance. You have already achieved so much, and this year will be another opportunity to refine your skills, set new goals, and serve as role models for our new students. Your experience and knowledge are invaluable to our dojo, and I look forward to seeing you reach even greater heights.

This year, we have planned a series of events, including parties, promotion test, tournaments, and special training sessions, designed to enhance your learning experience. We encourage everyone to participate fully in these opportunities, as they are crucial in developing a well-rounded martial artist.

Remember, Karate is not just about physical prowess; it is about cultivating the spirit and mind. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, there is always room to grow, learn, and evolve. Let us all approach this year with an open mind, a strong spirit, and a determination to improve ourselves and our community.
Thank you for being a part of Sekishinkan Karate. Together, let us make this year one of growth, achievement, and unity.

Welcome to another exciting year of training!

Warm regards,

​Henry Chan

We wanted to take a moment to express our sincere thanks to everyone who joined our Outdoor Training and BBQ event today. Your enthusiasm and participation made it a memorable hard work and fun day.

It's always inspiring to see our karate family come together, not just in the dojo but also in activities that strengthen our bond. Thank you for your energy, and dedication, and for making the event a success. Looking forward to seeing you next year.

Thanks to Wallace and Cecilia for their help with food preparation and serving. And special thanks to Vancouver Seiwakai Shihan and the members joining us.

本日の屋外トレーニングとバーベキュー イベントに参加してくださった皆様に、心からの感謝を申し上げたいと思います。皆様の熱意と参加により、思い出に残るハードワークと楽しい一日となりました。

道場だけでなく、絆を深める活動でも、空手ファミリーが一堂に会するのを見るのはいつも刺激的です。皆様のエネルギーと献身、そしてイベントの成功に感謝しています。来年お会いできるのを楽しみにしています。

食事の準備と配膳を手伝ってくれたウォレスとセシリアに感謝します。そして、バンクーバー清和会師範と参加してくれたメンバーに特に感謝します。

​Flexibility is one of the core principles in martial arts training.
柔軟性は武道のトレーニングにおける中心となる原則の 1 つです。

​As the Chief Instructor of WSK Sekishinkan Karate, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the guests, members, parents, and friends who graced our 18th Anniversary AGM on May 10, 2024, with their presence. Your unwavering support is the cornerstone of our success, and seeing each of you there fills me with immense pride and gratitude. It was truly heartening to witness the joy on everyone's faces as they received their certificates and awards, a testament to the hard work and dedication they've shown. Your enthusiasm and commitment inspire us to continue striving for excellence in our practice and in our community. Thank you for being a vital part of our karate family, and here's to many more years of growth, camaraderie, and shared achievements. Osu!

Congratulations to all the medal winners in the 2024 Karate BC Provincial Tournament! Your hard work, dedication, and skill have paid off. Keep up the great work and continue to inspire others with your success!

We won 1 Gold, 1 Silver and 5 Bronzes in this tournament.

2024年空手BC州大会でメダルを獲得された皆さん、おめでとうございます! あなたの努力、献身、スキルが報われました。 これからも素晴らしい仕事を続けて、あなたの成功で他の人にインスピレーションを与え続けてください!

​このトーナメントで私たちは金 1 個、銀 1 個、銅 5 個を獲得しました。

It is an immense pride to announce the remarkable achievements of our dojo's 29 candidates at the 51st Steveston Karate Tournament. Your dedication, perseverance, and spirit have truly shone through, culminating in an impressive medal tally of 6 golds, 9 silvers, and 30 bronzes.

As martial artists, we understand that victory is not solely measured by the color and the number of medals but by the growth and resilience forged in the fires of adversity. So, to those who tasted defeat, I urge you to embrace this moment as an opportunity for growth. Train harder, push further, and believe in your abilities, for the true essence of karate lies not in the outcome of a single tournament but in the unwavering pursuit of self-improvement.

At last, Congratulations and thank you to all of you. May the spirit of karate continue to guide and inspire us all.

第 51 回スティーブストン空手トーナメントで当道場の 29 名の候補者の目覚ましい成果を発表できることを大変光栄に思います。 皆さんの献身、忍耐力、そして精神は真に輝き、金メダル 6 個、銀メダル 9 個、銅メダル 30 個という素晴らしいメダル数を獲得しました。

私たちは格闘家として、勝利はメダルの色や数だけで測られるのではなく、逆境の中で鍛えられた成長と回復力によって測られることを理解しています。 ですから、敗北を味わった人たちには、この瞬間を成長の機会として受け止めてほしいと思います。 空手の真の本質は 1 回のトーナメントの結果ではなく、自己向上への揺るぎない追求にあるため、よりハードにトレーニングし、さらにプッシュし、自分の能力を信じてください。
​
最後に、おめでとうございます、そして皆さんに感謝します。 空手の精神が私たち全員を導き、インスピレーションを与え続けますように。

We want to express our appreciation for the dedication and commitment that our members have shown throughout their time in the Promotion Test on December 15, 2023. We can see their efforts and spirit in Karate-do.

私たちは、2023 年 12 月 15 日に行われる昇進試験に向けて、会員の皆様がこれまでに示してくれた献身と努力に感謝の意を表したいと思います。空手道に対する彼らの努力と精神が見て取れます。

"In order to stand on a podium, you should first push yourself to the limit."

Congratulations to all participants from Team WSK Sekishinkan, who won a medal in the 2023 Canada Open Karate Tournament on Saturday, December 2, 2023 at the Olympic Oval. Our Team achieved a total of 3 Gold, 2 Silver, and 4 Bronze medals.
​
For those who didn't receive anything, remember this is still a great experience for you. Think about how to improve and what you should do, so that you can stand on that Podium in the next year. Never give up, please!

「表彰台に立つためには、まず自分を限界まで追い込む必要がある。」

2023年12月2日土曜日、オリンピックオーバルで開催される2023年カナダオープン空手大会でメダルを獲得したチーム WSK赤心館の参加者の皆様、おめでとうございます。 私たちのチームは、合計で金メダル 3 個、銀メダル 2 個、銅メダル 4 個を獲得しました。

何も受け取らなかった人にとって、これはあなたにとって素晴らしい経験であることを忘れないでください。 来年その表彰台に立てるように、どう改善し、何をすべきかを考えてください。 決して諦めないでください。
