Re: Camp Shotokan – 2005

Greetings and best wishes to all!

The American JKA Karate Association is proud, once again, to invite you to be part of Camp Shotokan 2005. An outstanding shotokan karate training opportunity open to all beginner, intermediate, and advanced Shotokan karate practitioners – without regard for political and organizational affiliation.

Leading this year's camp will be the following AJKA instructors:

· Leslie Safar, 8^th Dan – AJKA Technical Director

· Edmond Otis, 7^th Dan – AJKA Chairman and Chief Instructor

· Nick Palise, 6^th dan – AJKA Senior National Advisor

· Sal Lopresti, 6^th Dan – AJKA Assistant Technical Director

· Tony DeSardi, 5^th dan – AJKA National Technical Committee

· Robert Myles, 5^th Dan – AJKA National Technical Committee

We will be joined by the following senior shotokan karate instructors:

· James Yabe, 8^th Dan – ASKA Technical Director

· Randall Hassell, 8^th Dan – AJKA President and Chief Instructor of the American Shotokan Karate Alliance

· John Hanratty, 6^th Dan – Canadian Shotokan Karate Association National Coach

As a group we are dedicated to providing camp participants an intense, challenging, and enjoyable weekend of world class training and study.

General camp information:

Register early! Space is limited and we try to maintain a very low instructor/student ratio. Also: for the first time (finally) – we can take credit card payment.

This year we are fortunate, once again, to be located at Camp Shotokan’s original home – The Academy by the Sea, in Carlsbad, CA.

Camp dates are August 11 – 14. As those of you who have been here before will remember, Carlsbad is the perfect Southern California Beach town! It is located 30 miles between San Diego and Orange County, and is surrounded by miles of coast line and tons of stuff to do.

As you can see by the picture above, we are located just steps from the Pacific Ocean (the gym is in the big building in the center of the photo, our dorms are to the left of the gym). As in previous years, campers are welcome to bring non-training family and friends (at a big discount off regular camp prices), for a great (and inexpensive) weekend at the beach – or, as many do, as part of a longer Southern California vacation..

Please click here for more pictures and information about our location and the beautiful city of Carlsbad: http://www.army-navyacademy.com/ana_campus.html

What to bring:

Mainly beach and light recreation wear. The weather in Carlsbad is absolutely beautiful this time of year. Shorts, t-shirts, jeans, tennis shoes, sandals, swimwear & SUN SCREEN, a light jacket or sweatshirt for the evening will be perfect. Also, bring towels and personal items, (a pillow, 2 sheets & a blanket will be provided), cameras and film, surf and boogie boards, cards, games, etc.

Your camp fees will include everything you need: shared double, or triple-room, three all-you-can-eat meals (starting with dinner on Thursday and finishing with brunch on Sunday), all training fees, and a complimentary camp T-shirt and group photo.

Please scroll down on this page to see camp fees and rates.

On behalf of the AJKA, warm regards. We hope to see you at Camp Shotokan 2005!

Yours in Shotokan,

Edmond Otis
Chairman and Chief Instructor – AJKA
