Just came back from the last Karate Retreat of 2025! It was such an amazing group again, from five different continents!

Here are some photos from the first day. We met at the airport, went to the karate museum to check out the history, tried some additional training, checked out the historic sites, drove up to the training facility next to the beautiful ocean, and had an amazing dinner!
