Upcoming Gasshuku in the Czech Republic will be held in Kadan from 4th to 8th July 2018.

Instructors, leading seminars this year, are Hanzaki Yasuo (7.Dan JKA), Tatsuya Naka (7.dan JKA) and Koichiro Okuma (6.dan JKA).

This year, instead of the Gasshuku event in the Czech Republic, we are organizing a seminar called JKA KATA CAMP. We were forced to take this step, as Japanese instructors cannot arrive this year. Nevertheless, we intend to train under the guidance of Czech or European instructors, which we will contact in the coming days. We will inform you about the latest events. We hope you managed to survive the pandemic in good health and see you in Kadan.

The instructors of the JKA KATA CAMP will be Richard Růžička (6th dan JKA), David Havlík (5th dan JKA), Steen Carlsson (5th dan JKA), Jana Konečná (4th dan JKA) and others.
