For those who are still fairly new joining the W.K.K.A. Association, Kenji Kusano (known as “Soke Sensei” to his students) is the Head of the W.K.K.A. Association.  Each year, he travels all the way from Japan with a group of Japanese students to host a Gasshuku (Training Camp) in one of the European countries. This is a great opportunity to train directly with Soke Sensei and W.K.K.A. students from across the world.

 

This event has been postponed over the past couple of years due to the pandemic, however, the first European Gasshuku's is restarting in Sept 2024 in Stockholm, Sweden. Soke Sensei will provide the finest teaching directly to all students and will be assisted by Takashi “Teppei” Kozuka (one of the most senior instructors in W.K.K.A.).

 

Everyone is welcome to attend, instructors, adults, children and families. This event is very unique to the W.K.K.A. Association so don’t miss out!

​

The usual schedule for the weekend is as follows:

1 - Friday = Training 7pm - 9pm 

2 - Saturday = Training 10am - 4pm, then formal evening meal with Soke Sensei (called the Welcome Meal)

3 - Sunday = Training 10am - 4pm, then a more casual evening meal with Soke Sensei (called the Goodbye Meal)
