WTKO Summer Camp Nagano 2026

Every trip to Japan leaves its mark. 🇯🇵🏯🍱⛩️

Not because of the tourist attractions.

Because of the early mornings…
the quiet shrines…
the dojo floors…
the friendships…
the teachers…
and the moments that stay with you long after you’ve returned home.

These photos were taken over many years by WTKO instructors during different visits to Japan.

Each tells a different story, but together they remind us why so many karateka dream of training there.

In just a few weeks we’ll be gathering once again for the WTKO Summer Camp in Nagano.

For some, it will be a return.
For others, it will be their very first experience of training in Japan.
Wherever you are on that journey, we can’t wait to share it with you.

See you in Nagano.

🇯🇵🥋👊🏽

The countdown to Nagano has begun.

For 120 karateka, this won’t just be another WTKO Summer camp.

It will be mornings on tatami mats. 🧘🏽‍♀️🙏
Traditional Japanese hospitality. 🍵
Tea, beautiful food and peaceful gardens. 🍣🍱⛩️ 🌳
Conversations that last long after training ends.
And memories that stay with you for years. 🥋🙇🏻‍♀️👊🏽🇯🇵🏯

Japan has a way of teaching long after training has finished.

We can’t wait to share it with you. 🇯🇵🥋
