\n“Thank
\nyou for your attendance here at Sosai Masutatsu Oyama’s 20th Memorial Ceremony.<\/span>

\nyear marks a huge milestone for the Kyokushinkaikan as we celebrate our 50th

\nourselves of Sosai Oyama’s Kyokushin Spirit of keeping our heads low, eyes
\nhigh, reserved in speech with hearts as one, and basing ourselves on the belief
\nof filial piety. In this arena, we dedicate ourselves forward towards the next
\n50 years, and to the eternity of the Kyokushinkaikan. <\/span><\/span>
\nMy
\nsincere gratitude and respect goes to everyone here today. Thank you for your
\neverlasting support.<\/span>
\nWe are
\npleased to present The International Karate Friendship in honor of Sosai Oyama.
\nIn witnessing today’s Championships, I hope you will gain a complete
\nunderstanding of Sosai Oyama’s objectives and hope for the Kyokushinkaikan.\u3000
<\/span>Once
\nagain thank you for joining us today. I sincerely appreciate all your
\nsupport.” <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
