From August 6th to 12th, we held the 2024 Katsuura Training Camp. This year, 124 participants from 13 countries joined the event.
The camp included breathing exercises in the early morning, morning and afternoon training sessions, Itto-ryu training, and evening events and meetings.
For one week, we shared meals and lodging while dedicating ourselves to the practice of Budo. Although the training and daily routines were rigorous, the events provided a fun opportunity for international exchange through singing and dancing.
Dan examinations were also conducted, with the following results:
29 participants passed the 1st Dan
11 participants passed the 2nd Dan
9 participants passed the 3rd Dan
4 participants passed the 4th Dan
3 participants passed the 5th Dan
