2013 IKKF 29th ANNUAL TRAINING

The INTERNATIONAL KARATE KOBUDO FEDERATION is pleased to announce its 29th Annual IKKF ANNUAL TRAINING, JULY 12 - 14, 2013.

The 2013 IKKF ANNUAL TRAINING is tentatively scheduled to be held at the IKKF Honbu in READING, PA. Again as in the past participants can sleep over at the Honbu. Space is limited so if you are planning on staying at the Dojo, register for the Annual Training EARLY.

The training is limited to 3rd Kyus (Brown Belts) and above. So get your registrations in early to reserve you place. Last years event was one of the best yet, but this years event looks to be even better.
