Gasshuku are training camp events. As an organisation we host and participate in three training events each year. Each March we participate in the ACT State Gasshuku. In May we host the National Black & Brown Belt camp in Canberra. And every November we participate in the AOGKF National Gasshuku in rotating cities around the Country. All of these events are taught by our head Dojo instructors.

Each year our clubs either participate or host the AOGKF annual friendship tournament and club championships. Members for our centres around Canberra compete against people from AOGKF clubs all over the country in the friendly event that enables participation for all ages. Competitions in Kata and continuous non-contact free sparring are held with the emphasis on good technique, good sportsmanship and having a go.
Grading Tests

Grading Tests
Grading tests are held periodically throughout the year. Tests are usually held at each Dojo 2-3 times per year. Unlike other martial arts in Canberra, all of our Dojo instructors are Internationally recognised and qualified to conduct your grading in your own Dojo, with no need to travel away. Black Belt grading tests are held in Canberra annually as part of the National Black & Brown Belt Gasshuku.
