Dear KSR Friends,

In 2024, we will celebrate 30 years with Sugawara Sensei. From that first meeting in Hombu dojo in Machida to the present moment, our teacher has honored us with more than 25 visits to Spain. Our debt to him has no limits and our gratitude and loyalty to him and his school are and will be everlasting.

To commemorate these 30 years with Sugawara Sensei, we in Spain thought of the idea for an European Gasshuku, a meeting that will bring together all the groups of Katori Shinto ryu, who study with Sugawara Sensei in Europe.

Our intention is to meet in Badajoz, Spain, enjoy the practice of Bujutsu together and honor our teacher.

Hence, I would like to extend a joyful invitation to all Sugawara Sogo Budo students in Europe, but also Asia and the Americas, to join us for this event.

To be sure, the infrastructure of Badajoz can seem humble, our city small and not as exciting as a metropolis. But Badajoz is steeped in history, both Roman and Arab, and known for excellent cuisine as well as warm hospitality. The weather is often lovely, the environment quiet calm and the training, for

sure, will be worth the trip.

We have planned with Sugawara Sensei to make this event family friendly, so Katorikas can consider including their families for their trip. We will designate plenty of keiko time but also sight-seeing opportunities to historical sites and important centers of our community. Information to these sites are below, as well as an itinerary for the entire week of this event.

In addition, Sugawara Sensei will be accompanied by three of his nephews and one of his outstanding students in both Aikido and Katori Shinto ryu, Ikusaburo Kido. Kido san is a person we all esteem for showing us kindness when spanish students visit Japan.

In closing, I humbly ask that you let us know if you are joining us by registering for this gasshuku on our registration page below. Thank you for your time. We hope to see you in Spain in May 2024.

Sincerely,

Pedro Martín González
