Kise Isao, Kaicho of the Okinawa Shorin-ryu Matsumura Karate and Kobudo federation returns to Tyler, Tx this June for the 2019 OSMKKF gasshuku.
Translating to mean “lodging together,” the gasshuku is a budo tradition that immerses the students in a training environment quite different than the common atmosphere of their home dojo. While workshops and seminars are normally geared towards new material, gasshuku serve as an extension of regular class curriculum in a more intense atmosphere, where training takes place several hours a day for several days. |
