The Isshinryu Hall of Fame is farmore than a tournament. It’s a family reunion.
Every year, friends who haven’t seen each other in months, or sometimes years, gather once again to share stories, train together, laugh together, and celebrate the art that brought us all together in the first place.
The trophies, rankings, and competition are exciting, but they’re not what make this weekend special.
What makes it special are the handshakes that turn into hugs.
The memories shared in hotel lobbies.
The late-night conversations.
The opportunity to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones who instantly feel like family.
For many of us, this weekend has become a tradition we look forward to all year long.
Whether you’re competing, attending seminars, joining us for the banquet, or simply stopping by to be part of the experience, you’ll find something far greater than an event, you’ll find a community.
July 17–18, 2026 | Gatlinburg, Tennessee
