ISKA Events Announcements
Each year, the International San Ten Karate Association holds at least 4-5 seminars featuring our top Instructors or other exemplary Instructors, giving ISKA and non-ISKA students alike a chance to expand their skills, their thinking, and most importantly meet other students from outside of their own dojo.
In addition to our one day seminars, ISKA holds a weekend-long camp in the Sierras every August that attracts students from all over the world with quality instruction in a gorgeous and unforgettable location. Similar to other styles' "Gasshaku", our camp features intense training in kata, kumite, weapons, breathing, and meditation exercises with meals and bunkhouse lodging provided in the camp registration fee. |

Tips for Productive Virtual Training:

- Download the Zoom software ahead of time (Laptop Recommended)
- Some Etiquette for Virtual Training:
- Please join on time. (5-10 minutes early) We will plan to begin on time: 12pm, PACIFIC TIME
- Please no electronics use during the training - Please pay attention as you would if training we were in person in the dojo.
- Please save questions for when Instructors open up the session for questions. All participants will be muted upon entry and throughout training except for opportunities provided by the Instructors for Q&A.
- Please configure your camera so your entire body can be seen, with good lighting if possible, so coaching can be offered from the Instructors. We encourage everyone to join with camera on so we can train together and improve.
- A recording of the training will be made available on the ISKA YouTube channel after training. Be sure to subscribe for updates.
