Official Recognition
On June 20, 2010, ACSD SEISHINKAI CESENA, under the guidance of Sensei Marco Forti, has been recognized by the International Ryukyu Karate Research Society, through its Director - Patrick McCarthy, Hanshi 8th Dan - as an official Koryu Uchinadi shibu dojo.
Seishinkai Cesena - whose venue is the Sport Centre «Studio 524» located in Cesena, via Ravennate 524 - is therefore the first Italian dojo where Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo-jutsu is officially practiced.
