On October 18, Shihan Alejandro Valdivia, 6th Dan black belt, led a technical seminar in Temuco, Chile.

The event was organized by Senpai Leonardo Pérez and brought together several dojos affiliated with KWU SENSHI Chile, demonstrating the strength and unity of the local Kyokushin Karate community.

The participating dojos included:

• Merino Llifén, led by Sensei Rafael Merino

• Miyagi Dojo Temuco, led by Senpai Alfredo Cortés

• Los Ángeles, led by Senpai Arroyo

• Gouken Labranza, the host dojo led by Senpai Leonardo Pérez

Over the course of three hours, the participants showed remarkable dedication and strong martial spirit — something Shihan Valdivia highlighted as one of the most inspiring aspects of the event.

“I return with a great feeling after seeing the commitment of everyone throughout the seminar. I’m also deeply grateful to Senpai Leo’s wonderful family — his daughters and his wife — for their warm hospitality.”

Shihan Alejandro Valdivia concluded his visit with a sense of gratitude and joy, witnessing the continuous growth of KWU SENSHI Chile and FCHKC.
The seminar strengthened the bonds between participating dojos and contributed to the technical and community development of Kyokushin in the region.
