Milton Abbey Summer Gasshuku 2023

Posted by alisonthompson on

On Monday 17 July, Washinkai held its annual four day summer (gasshuku) course at Milton Abbey School, in Dorset.

This has been our home since 1991, except for a few exceptional reasons.

Many of our UK clubs were represented, but this year, a large group from Spain attended with their Instructor, Sensei Geovanny Sanchez Salazar 5th Dan.  In addition, our Andover Club came for the first time.

We had four days of superb, sunny weather, training outside everyday and when it did rain, it was always at night.
