Kata Course and Dan Gradings 2009

Special Kata Course Saturday 19th September 2009

     JKA Karate Do Shotokan (Scotland) held a special Brown and Black Belt Kata course on Saturday 19th September at Stonyhill Community Centre Musselburgh. Over the course Katas Jion, Nijushiho and Sochin were covered. The object of the course was to help those that attended further develop their Kata practice and knowledge and then build on what they had learned back at their own dojos. Feedback received from the special Kata courses held this year show that they are very popular and enjoyed by all. More courses such as these are planned for the future.
