2021 OSMKKF US Regional GasshukuJWe're excited to once again be partnering with the Sharon Shriner's Hall, Staybridge Suites, and the City of Tyler to put together another amazing training opportunity. Join us June 11, 12, and 13 for three days of intensive training for all ranks and ages, to help polish away the rust that inevitably builds up after a year quarantined away from our training partners.
While neither Kaicho or Sonomi-san will be joining us for this training camp, we are hoping to have it well attended by not only the US federation directors, but a large portion of the senior instructors as well. Online registration coming soon. |
