Please join us for our annual IKKU Christmas clinic and festivities scheduled for Dec. 2, 2023. This event will be Hosted by Hanshi Ron Downton and Kyoshi-Sei Jenny Downton of the Tora Shin Karate Kai in Social Circle, GA. The IKKU Karate Seminar will feature Soke Joseph Ruiz, 10th Dan Soke Joseph Ruiz, and Founder of the Kotosu-Ha Shito-Ryu Karate-Do System. With Soke’s vast kata and bunkai knowledge he always has something good to teach us. You don’t ever want to miss an opportunity to take part in his clinics because the exposure and knowledge available to lower ranks is simply enlightening. There are both morning and afternoon sessions scheduled including Kata and Bunkai.
Following the events of the day will be the annual supper and festivities. Times will be announced at the clinic, usually starting around 6:00 pm. Come ready to rekindle old friendships and make new ones. Please bring your favorite dish and your favorite beverages for the evening event. A white elephant gift exchange is planned so each person should bring a gift (male or female), with a maximum cost of $10. The gift exchange generates a lot of fun so please be ready to participate!
