"We recognize that chess, martial arts and hip-hop unify people from multiple cultural, religious and social backgrounds. These black and white squares do not care what color you are or if you are rich or poor. The only thing they ask is that you come with your strategy, your patience and your skills..." - HHCF co-founder Adisa Banjoko
What a fantastic group - the Hip Hop Chess Federation, which is also involved in martial arts instruction. A friend of mine (curiously of the same name, who also practiced kendo here in the same area of Tokyo) is now a teacher in Oakland, (home of East Bay Ray and various other DKs).
