Find out all about the Shito-Ryu Summer Camp 2025!

In a few days, this year’s Shito-Ryu summer camp will take place from 10.08. to 17.08.2025 at the Freizeitcenter Oberrhein in Rheinmünster (Baden-Württemberg). We have summarised all the important information.

Highlights of the camp

The highlights of the summer camp this year again include karate training in the Shito-Ryu style, kobudo, aqua karate, qigong, meditation with or without singing bowls and self-defence.

The karate kata training sessions are centred around Oyadomari no Passai, one of the oldest katas. It was named after Master Peichin Oyadomari, a student of the famous Master Shionja. The strong Chinese influence of this kata symbolises the historical connection between the original Chinese martial arts and the development of Okinawan karate.

In the kobudo units, participants learn how to handle and use the kama as well as the bo staff. Kama is a sickle-like tool used in agriculture to plant and harvest rice.

This year’s instructors include Shihan Athula Minithanthri (8th Dan), Sensei Joachim Wursthorn (6th Dan), Sensei Holger Obergföll (4th Dan) and Sensei André Lassen (3rd Dan).
