Contents of the seminar

This three-week seminar involves learning about three styles of karate, for five days each. This includes the styles
associated with Shorin-Ryu (Shorin-Ryu itself, Shorinji-Ryu, and the Shorin-Ryu that is also known as
Matsubayashi-Ryu), Goju-Ryu style, and Uechi-Ryu style. We also accept participants who want to join for just one week.

This seminar is for advanced-level karate learners and we train in traditional kata, bunkai, and yakusoku
(prearranged) kumite from each school. On the last day of each seminar, we will offer a performance in which
participants can demonstrate what they have learned during the seminar. The instructors will evaluate and give advice on the performance.
