The fourth Vale Karate International Gasshuku will be held from Friday 16th to Sunday 18th March, 2018 at Oxford University’s Roger Banister Centre in Oxford, Oxfordshire.
This will be a weekend of karate and fun. The chance to see a different aspect of karate, and maybe learn from someone with a different view to your own. The weekend will be non political. There will be sessions on kata, kumite, kihon, and bunkai. Just bring your gi and an open mind – and prepare to make new friends!
