Annual Beach Trainings
The annual beach trainings are the first Sunday in June and the last Sunday in September and provide the ISKA community an opportunity to practice kihon, kata, and other fun activities to boost our technique, endurance, stamina and spirits.
For comradery, every beach training celebrates with a community potluck immediately after the training.
