it is this deep rooted belief why only our senior instructors and students have constantly followed sensei throughout his life and continued with his vision of the One Family after his passing. The loyalty we feel to our Sensei, Tatsuo Suzuki is what he always demonstrated toward his Sensei, Hironori Ohtsuka, and is the true meaning of Shingi O Omanji. </p> <p>It is hoped that this site will bring all members around the world closer together uniting us as one large family as Sensei wished. For non-members, we hope you find the material both useful and informative, and that you gain some insight into our organisation and its values.</p><br> <p> <h4>9th Global Cup - Highlights</h4>  <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qI9vVXpSQtw" class="img-polaroid" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>  </p> <hr>  <div class="shout-box"> <div class="row-fluid"> <div class="span9"> <h2>Always Wanted To Try A Martial Art? </h2> <p><em>“The difference between the possible and the impossible is one’s will“</em> - Sensei Hironori Ohtsuka</p> </div> <div class="span3"> <a href="Dojo_new.php" class="btn btn-large btn-primary btn-right">Find a Dojo</a> </div> </div> </div>  <hr> <div id="headerSeparator2"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="contentArea"> <div class="divPanel notop page-content"> <div class="row-fluid"> <div class="span12" id="divMain">  <div class="row-fluid"> <div class="span4"> <div class="box"> <i class="general foundicon-globe"></i> <h4 class="title">Our Mission</h4> <p> Our mission at the WIKF is to share the knowledge that our founder and beloved Sensei, Tatsuo Suzuki dedicated his life to learning and to fulfil his vision of one organisation truly working together as a family. </p> </div> </div> <div class="span4"> <div class="box"> <i class="general foundicon-calendar icon"></i> <h4 class="title">Events</h4> <p> Here you can find out information about our up and coming events across the globe.
