Yahara Sensei’s 8th Dan Test

Please be respectful in the comments. Yahara Sensei came before us all and has a great knowledge of his art. It is not necessary to want to emulate him but as karate ka it is necessary to talk about him with respect. Etiquette doesn’t finish when you leave the dojo. ___________________________________ Mikio Yahara (矢原 美紀夫, Yahara Mikio, born April 4, 1947) is a legendary and controversial Japanese Shotokan karate expert and Chief Instructor of the Karatenomichi World Federation.
