Kokoro Kai Gasshuku (Martial Arts Camp) 2026

Our 2026 Weekend Gasshuku is being held June 5,6,7, 2026.  This year we are offering a one-day Day Camp at our weekend training event on Saturday, June 7th. We offer an early enrollment with a discount by February 28th.  The regular deadline to register is May 16th, 2026.

The Gasshuku has been designed to provide concentrated, energetic instruction combined with planned recreation time. Each student is expected to work hard during the regularly scheduled classes, to practice during practice periods, to obey all camp rules, and have a great time at the many recreational events available at the Camp.

The Kokoro Kai Gasshuku has been developed by the Senior Black Belt Staff Members of OUR KAI. All classes and activities will be supervised by the Senior Black Belt Staff Members.

The Kokoro Kai Gasshuku will be held at Camp Nockamixon, located in Kintnersville, PA, just north of Doylestown.  This camp provides over 30 acres of beautiful woods and fields.  Each camper will have ample opportunity to enjoy recreational swimming in the Olympic size pool and two Water Slides(!!), boating and fishing on a private lake, basketball courts, athletic fields, tennis courts, beach volleyball, movies, ga-ga courts, snack bar, Obstacle and Ropes Course, and servings of delicious meals served in the dining hall.
