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. |
