JKS World Championships
Our local JKS Karate Clubs of Haxby, Selby and York are very proud of our Karateka that have been selected to compete at the coming World Championships on the 24th and 25th September.
Sensei Paul Giannandrea has worked tirelessly to organise the event and has recently sent out the Championship programme, some 85 pages.
To make it a little easier for the family and friends of our Karateka, I have dropped into a table when and where the events are programmed to start, but please check on the day to see if there are any changes or if I have made an error.
Good Luck to you all, Osu!

Kihon is King!
Above : Kihon instructed by Kagawa Shihan.
Even if we are preparing for a grading or competition we should not lose our focus from Kihon, the foundation of a good Karateka.
Perfection will never be reached, but progression is essential at all grades, especially the Dan grades.
We are all just beginners, compared to our Shihan that have gone before us.
Please enjoy the detail of our chief instructors corrections to the foundation techniques of karate, Osu!
