"The Brazilian style" hard training started with Shihan Isobe's shout "Keep your heads up TOHOKU" and lasted 2 and a half hours without rest. After training there were an autograph and photo session deepening friendship. Branch Chief Kuroda spoke out his thoughts after the seminar "in the participants there were people who lost their families and relatives, got there houses swept, and some still live in shelters, but I feel Shihan Isobe's enthusiastic and passionate training encouraged and inspired us all. I myself feel that I got a big push in the back from Shihan Isobe. After all the encouragement and support I would like to raise Kyokushin activities in the Tohoku area."After the seminar Both Shihan visited Branch Chief, Sensei Shigeyuki Murakami of the Miyagi Branch whose activity base is in heavily damaged Natori city. Both gave there words of appreciation to the activities they had done in the damaged areas and a donation collected from many branches and members of Kyokushinkaikan was handed by Shihan Isobe.
