Gasshuku 2009 Schedule

Here is the schedule for this year's Gasshuku. We've quite a weekend planned. We'll have several instructors on hand as well as other folks offering their knowledge and skills in the small group sessions on Sunday morning. We'll also tackle the 40-foot climbing wall then.

I've been hosting Gasshuku for almost 10 years now, and every time is a new experience. It's a great chance to get outside and apply our training to skills we sometimes don't get to practice in the dojo, like stealth and stalking, camouflage, climbing, natural skills like firestarting, as well as taking Taijutsu off the mats and into the woods.

Each year, I try to keep the costs down - all training, meals on Saturday and Sunday, as well as lodging is included for $150. We only do Gasshuku once a year and it's a great time to come together with like-minded folks for an extended weekend of training and camaraderie in a beautiful setting, during what I think is the nicest time of year.

Please contact me if you plan on joining us.
