Kobu-Jitsu Retreat

Kobu-Jitsu Retreat......................................... ........ July 18-20, 2008

Students are housed at a hotel about 7 minutes from the Temple. All meals and double occupancy lodging are provided and included in the price of each retreat. If you're looking for a seminar where you stay in the Beverly Hilton, attend classes at UCLA and eat cafeteria food, this is definitely not for you. The rooms are clean, the food is delicious and the training is demanding.

You will learn a 42-move Jo kata, kisokumite, power training exercises, applications, defense against other weapons, self-defense... and much, much more. In addition, you will select an optional kata for a weapon of your choice from the following: Kaibo, Bo, Tonfa, Nunchatku, Kama, Sai.
