2015 Gasshuku

The International MartialArts Association would like to invite all traditional Dojo and students to our 21st Annual Rocky Mountain Gasshuku (camp) the weekend of October 2-4, 2015. This year, we are very excited to host the camp again at The Inn at Silver Creek, in Granby, Colorado.

InnAtSilverCreek

Gasshuku is a traditional retreat designed to allow a karate-ka to focus on training without the daily distractions that interrupt the learning process. By participating in this camp, you will refine your technique and gain a more in-depth understanding of martial arts.

This year’s theme is “Respect” and, like last year’s camp, all levels of karate-ka camp participants may participate, free of extra charge, in a family friendly tournament on Sunday.

Training will be held in four to five separate training areas with guest instructors and students from the United States and other countries. Please refer to the training schedule for specific levels and training times.

This camp is open to all martial arts students, coaches, and instructors who wish to learn traditional and sport karate. Please feel free to call 303-665-0339 or contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions. Mail your application to: 1340 Main Street, Louisville, CO 80027, USA by September 25, 2015.

Our traditional dinner will take place on Saturday, October 3rd. Join your fellow karate-ka and their families for a fun-filled, lively evening.

We look forward to sharing this time to train and bond with our karate family and friends.
