As promised, some photo's from the hugely successful Gasshuku held in Port Nelson, Stephens Bay Australia hosted by Tino Rossi and his Dojo's. Some serious fun was had as well as some serious learning- a lot to unpack, reflect on and share. So much knowledge freely shared by everyone.
We are very grateful to Tino for organising and Gima & Kinjo Sensei for giving their time to share a snippet of what they have learned. Very inspiring.
