West Coast Training Camp 2026 (09/25/2026)

Sat, 26 Sep 2026 01:00:00 GMT

West Coast Training Camp 2026!

We can't wait to host everyone again for West Coast Training Camp, Friday evening and all day Saturday, September 25th-26th - including catered lunch, and the ever popular Cookie Break!

Rohai Dojo invites you to help bring the spirit and excitement of IATC to West Coast members of the Cuong Nhu family - many of whom cannot travel to Raleigh for IATC on Memorial Day Weekend.

Train with high-ranking instructors from across the U.S.:

Master Mike Ponzio, 8th Dan, from South Carolina

Master Darius Jones, 7th Dan, from South Carolina

Sensei Tony Kay, 5th Dan, from Washington state

Sensei Rachel Gowan, 4th Dan, from Georgia

Senseis Russ Eggleston and Victoria Johnson, 4th dans from San Diego, CA

Other guest instructors to be confirmed!

Deepen your understanding of the Cuong Nhu curriculum.

Get a taste of some special martial arts topics you might not see in your regular classes - including weapons, throwing techniques, advanced katas, and more.

By request, we're including some instructor training topics. We encourage school heads and black belts to come.

WCTC is designed with all ages and ranks in mind. We especially encourage west coast kids (6 & up) and teens to take part. For those who can't travel cross-country to attend Cuong Nhu's international training camp - we're bringing it to you!

Out-of-town visitors: We treasure your participation, and sincerely hope you'll be able to attend! Our hotel room rate is very reasonable, and if you share with a roommate, you can save even more. Besides a free airport shuttle, the Courtyard by Marriott/Oakland Airport offers a spacious lobby and bar area for socializing. We look forward to seeing you there!

Book your group rate for WCTC by August 25th

WCTC will take place at Ira Jinkins Rec Center, just 5 minutes from our official hotel, at 9175 Edes Avenue in Oakland.

Travel tip: Your first choice is to fly to Oakland International Airport (OAK). Our hotel provides a free shuttle from OAK. However, San Francisco airport is only 30 to 45 minutes away by car or BART (no free shuttle to the hotel, but it's a very short cab/uber/lyft ride from the Coliseum BART station to the hotel).

Parents: If you're wondering whether your kids can last through a 9 to 5 day of training... they can. Our invited instructors are highly skilled and experienced at working with children. The schedule includes appropriate activities, break time, and skillful supervision. You can drop your kids off at the gym and leave with confidence - or you are welcome to stay and watch for all or part of the day!

Each training session offers options for different ranks and ages. All attendees are invited to dine with our out-of-town guests on both Friday and Saturday. Get to know each other and socialize!

We look forward to seeing you at the end of September!

Registration Note: After signing up on this site, you will receive a link to our payment site to complete your registration. You'll need to complete BOTH PARTS of the registration!
