The 30th Annual Western Region Summer Camp will be held July 17-19, 2009. For 26 years we conducted our camp in Flagstaff, Arizona. We have been quite fortunate to host many great instructors, including Master Nakayama, as well as other honored JKA Masters. 

We have held the last three Summer Camps in Payson, much to the enjoyment of all.  This will be our location again this year.  I will personally teach the sessions myself as in the past three years.   We have been quite lucky to have discovered the excellent facility in Payson which  is lovely in the Summer.

I encourage each of you to plan on attending camp this July, and to invite others to participate in this exciting training opportunity in our new location. The schedule will remain as it has in previous years. We will continue to hold morning zen training, a kyu/dan exam and a Saturday night banquet.

We must refocus on individual growth and personal development. Therefore, keep training and take advantage of the opportunity in summer camp to “seek perfection of character” through pursuit of the art of Karate-Do.

Sincerely,

Shojiro Koyama

Chief Instructor
