Osu! On April 21–22, 2024, USA-IFK Kyokushin welcomed IFK-Switzerland Country Representative Shihan Eddy Gabathuler (8th Dan) to Gray Wolf Martial Arts in Holley, New York, for a special Kyokushin seminar. Hosted alongside IFK-USA Country Representative Shihan Michael Monaco (8th Dan), the two-day event focused on kihon, tournament fighting, and self-defense training.
A theme that Shihan Gabathuler emphasized throughout the seminar was the concept of “Train Your Brain”. That training in martial arts is not just physical but mental as well.
Participants were honored to train with two of the top Kyokushin teachers in the world! A big thank you to Shihan Gabathuler and to Shihan Monaco for arranging such a fantastic opportunity! Osu!!!
