On July 11, 2009 MSOI Students participtated in a training weekend in Fort Madison, Iowa. These seminars were taught by several Isshinryu Masters from all over the United States, and Demark.

Topics covered ranged from Speed Drills, to Weapon drills. Each student had the chance to choose the seminar of their choice. Because the seminars were set up in two different rooms, and they had the seminars going at the same time.

This was a great experiance for everone who came. I would like to thank Grandmaster Steve Young for a great training weekend. It really supplied Isshinryu Karate-Ka with some great information.
