🎁 A Gift to the Isshinryu Community.

One of the things we love most about the Isshinryu Hall of Fame Weekend is bringing our community together to learn from those who have dedicated their lives to the art.

We are honored to announce that Grandmaster Willie Adams, 10th Dan, has generously offered to teach a special karate seminar on Friday, July 17, from 12:00–12:45 PM at the Gatlinburg Convention Center.

Here’s the best part… this seminar is completely FREE.

If you’ve already purchased seminar tickets to learn from this year’s Hall of Fame inductees, consider this an added bonus.

If you haven’t purchased seminar tickets, you’re still invited. This seminar is our gift to the Isshinryu community, made possible through Grandmaster Adams’ generosity, and we are grateful to pass that gift along to all of you.

No registration. No ticket required.

Just show up in your gi, ready to train, learn, and enjoy the opportunity to spend time with one of Isshinryu’s most respected 10th Dan Grandmasters.

We hope you’ll take advantage of this special opportunity. See you In Gatlinburg!🥋

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

Come celebrate the friendships, the legacy, and the spirit of Isshinryu.

Old friends. New friends. One family.
