Come join our new Competition Kata Class!
The SMU Karate Club is pleased to offer a new Competition Kata class starting this September 2024 and continuing through 2025. This class is geared toward the karateka/athlete who wishes to advance their kata performance for either competition, or gradings. Those who wish to participate in this class should already know at least one full kata from their style of karate that they are comfortable working on to improve. The basic fundamentals of kata will be worked on in this class, including speed, power, stances, transitions, balance, timing and techniques. This class is geared towards improving your kata performance.
This class is open to members of the SMU karate club and any member of Karate Nova Scotia in good standing. This is a drop-in class with the option to register for the term.
