HAMMOND CAMP. The ASKF Summer Camp (May 31 - June 2, 2008) will be in Hammond, our guest instructor will be Master Taniyama Takyua a JKA Sixth Dan. Mr. Taniyama is not only a JKA instructor but also a very talented competitor. Since 1992 he holds 18 titles both in kata and kumite (from 1st to 3rd places). He is the current 1st place title holder in kumite for the 50th All Japan Karate Championship in 2007. In 2002, 2001 and 1998 he was the tournament Grand Champion. This is a great opportunity for all of us to experience training under Mr. Taniyama to broaden our karate knowledge. The fee for the three day camp will be $150.00 due to the greater expense occurred to bring Mr. Taniyama in from Japan.
