SHOTOKAN KARATE KATA & KUMITE COURSE

JULY 2007

On Saturday the 14th July 2007 members of Karate International Martial Arts Association attended a course in Shotokan Kata & Kumite at Garforth Leisure Centre, Leeds.

The course was delivered by Sensei Martin Wilson 5th Dan of Providence Shotokan Karate Club, Sheffield and Sensei Steve Leak 4th Dan of Shin-Gi-tai Shotokan Karate Club Leeds.

Those members above the grade of 4th Kyu where taught the kata`s Unsu and Bassai Sho whilst the junior grades taught Heian Sandan and Heian Godan.

After a short break the students where then given some kumite training by Sensei Wilson. He followed with a few techniques in self defence and control and restraint.

All those that attended enjoyed the sessions and seemed very keen for the date to be arranged for the next one. This will take place in late September early October and will be a multi style course.
