Kyoshi Neil Stolsmark does Ufutun-Bo at the 8th Annual Warrior Gasshuku

Kyoshi Neil Stolsmark hosted the 8th Annual Warrior Gasshuku Karate and Kobudo training camp on June 11th - 14th, 2009 in beautiful southeastern Wisconsin, U.S.A.
Owner of Authentic Ancient Arts Karate and Kobudo School in Waukesha WI., Kyoshi Stolsmark once again assembled an unbelievable host of instructors from around the country. Hanshi Doug Perry, who just received a historic promotion to 9th dan made his fourth trip to our camp. Rounding out the headliners were Kyoshi Pat Haley, Kyoshi Jerry Taylor, Kyoshi CD Wiliamson, Sensei Blake Burgert, and Sensei Fred Lohse III.
Branch groups from Canada, New York, Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin came together in this gorgeous setting, to refine their traditional Shorin-ryu Shorinkan karate-do and Okinawan kobudo skills and take a serious approach and attention to the detail that is evident in our collective student body. This year we had fifty students grade for different levels of Black Belt- 15 in Karate and an unprecedented 35 move up in Kobudo.
There are many hours of training scheduled during the four days and three nights of the Gasshuku. You may train as much as you like; train in what interests you. Take advantage of your time, bring an empty cup and experience the wealth of knowledge being shared by all of the teachers. Assistant instructors are there to help you! Free time is scheduled for you to review and meet the instructors personally. Ask questions, make friends, and enjoy yourself. The camp also features: hiking, swimming (supervised by a lifeguard only), fishing, boats (for rent), basketball courts, mini golf, a castle to explore, and plenty of wide open space for training. If you are the rugged type, a tenting area is also available; you will need to bring your own tent. Families are welcome to enjoy a fabulous weekend of Budo.
Ichariba Choodee. An Okinawan proverb that means Once we meet and talk, we are brothers and sisters.
