IFK Australia 16th Annual Camp

Fri 18th - Sun 20th January

Book now for Summer Camp!

Shihan David Pickthall, the Vice-President of the IFK, is once again coming to Australia to teach us. This is a great opportunity, as he is one of the modern legends of Kyokushin. He has been going around the world to the different IFK countries and teaching there.

Check out the links below to see how many people turn out to train with him! How well can we do?

The Friday session (8:30am-4:30pm) will be a special children's training session, with a mini-tournament to close it off. Adults will be welcome to train too  - especially those who want to be involved in teaching them. The weekend will be more traditional, but kids can (and have in the past) come for the whole weekend. On Saturday or Sunday, we'll also have an early morning beach training session.

Prices range from $100 on the Friday, to $300 for all three days, but if you book and pay by Monday December 17th and you'll get a 25% discount on those prices. Given that a mere 2 hour seminar with other similar international martial artists usually cost around $80, these prices are an amazing opportunity not to be missed.

The Camp T-shirt MUST be booked by the 17th or we will not have enough time to get them made in time for the camp.
