About This Event

The Kyokushin
Experience

Henri-Oh's North American Kyokushin Summer Camp has been a pillar of Kyokushin excellence for 37 years. Founded and directed by Kancho Henri-Oh and organized under NAKO, this is where practitioners from across the continent come to push limits, forge brotherhood, and honour the true spirit of the art.

"You will train like never before.
You will leave transformed."

Four days of elite instruction, deep community, and the kind of training that stays with you long after you return to your dojo.
