JKA-BC Fall Gasshuku
Kumite Seminar
This event will focus on three areas of development in Karate-Do.
-Reaching new heights of technical proficiency of JKA Karate Do
- Kumite development
- Tokui Kata study
The primary goal will be to utilize these three areas to give an opportunity for our members from beginner to our most advanced Black belts to prepare for exams. Exams will be offered from 9th kyu to 1st kyu, Shodan and Nidan, as well as D level for all three of the JKA Instructor credentials program. And we will be preparing Dan candidates for Spring exam as well.
Kata component
We will utilize the Tokui kata of examination members to tackle the technical proficiency component of Kata. So far the higher Heian katas, Bassai Dai, Gojushi Ho Sho and Sochin have been chosen. Possibly more to follow.
