The annual Canadian Summer Training camp was held from July 31st to August 3rd at Ashton Creek, British Columbia organized by IKO Canada branch Chief Shihan Stuart Corrigal.
The location has been home to this camp for the past 25 years, and continues to draw a large group of enthusiastic Kyokushin participants.
150 people attended the 4 day camp to improve their knowledge and skills in Kyokushin Karate. The weather cooperated completely this year with a hot (35 C) sunny training environment.
All aspects of Kyokushin Karate were presented in the various classes. Highlights of the camp included, the annual "water training" session, and the promotion of 7 new Dan grades. In addition, Shihan Terry Price, recently promoted in Japan, received his IKO 5th Dan certificate from Japan.
