Transmission

A line across generations.

In traditional karate, knowledge lives in the relationship between those who teach, those who learn and those who continue.

Mário Azevedo, Kiichi Nakamoto and Jaime Sequeira Pereira at Nakamoto’s dojo
At Kiichi Nakamoto’s dojo in Okinawa. Nakamoto is seated at the centre, wearing a black karategi; Mário Azevedo stands directly behind him. Jaime Sequeira Pereira is seated to Nakamoto’s left — on the right as viewed in the photograph.

More than a sequence of names, lineage is a responsibility: to receive a practice, study it rigorously and transmit it honestly.
