    [post_content] => The Asian Pacific Gasshuku returns as a premier karate training event, reviving a tradition once regarded as the crown jewel of the Oceania region. Following the success of the first All-Asia Gasshuku in 2023, the decision was made to reunite the regions and restore the Asian Pacific Gasshuku to its former prestige.

For the first time in more than 28 years, the event will be hosted by the Australia Okinawa Goju-ryu Karate Federation (AOGKF) in the country city of Goulburn, New South Wales. This location offers participants the chance to experience nearby Sydney and Canberra, as well as the welcoming charm of regional Australia.

Thursday brings opportunities to explore Goulburn on local walking tours or travel by train to Canberra. Afternoon black belt training is followed by a CI and 5th Dan dinner at the Lambert Karate Dojo.

Friday to Sunday, training is available for all grades, including specialised sessions for senior black belts, children's classes, and optional technical seminars. Friday concludes with a black belt dinner, while Saturday features Dan gradings for eligible candidates and the AOGKF National Tournament Finals, plus time to enjoy local attractions.

Sunday, the event concludes with a public Instructors' Master Demonstration and a Sayonara party at Kingsdale Wines providing a memorable farewell to this international gathering.

This event is proudly supported by Goulburn Mulwaree Council.
