Origin of Hakuakai, Its Founder & Chief Instructor
Hakua means “ white wall”. Your can color the white wall into various color by making efforts individually. Push and brace yourself in Karate Do to change your belt step by step from white to black. But to whatever color your belt changes, its original color is white. Keep in mind that it implies the warning that your should not forget your original intention. Keep in mind that children do not grow up without parents. That is why Iwabuchi Shihan named the association “Hukua-Kai”.
