The
summer open Gashuku is one of the highlights of the year. The Gashuku
traditionally were for Samurai warriors. They allowed time for the Samurai
to train together away from the formalities of Court to hone their
fighting skills and to help build and maintain their bond or brotherhood
through hard training and socialising together. In the spirit of the Seven
Samurai, "one suffers, all suffer".
Fortunately,
in our modern times we are not quite so extreme, but the Gashuku is still
a time to push personal limits and is an excellent opportunity for
students to meet on a more informal and social basis. Many good
friendships have been formed in the past, and many good friendships will
be formed from Gashuku to come.
