'07 Fall Classic

What a great tournament, especially since it was the first year we've hosted it! Thanks to the hard work of all our officials, volunteers & staff everything went off without a hitch and even though there was a little bet going around that it couldn't be done, we're were finished by 2pm. Record time for this experienced team, you made us proud. Check back soon for more tournament pics!!

Heians for Reference

For our parents & beginner adult students who need a little help remembering those pesky Heians while practicing at home, we have included video links on our sidebar (right). While the performance of these katas is obviously not "competition grade", it is a great reference when you're home asking yourself, "Was that supposed to be a gedan-baraii or a tsuki?" Enjoy!

Kata Seminar at MKA

If you didn't make it to the Kata Clinic June 23rd, you missed out on a really fun and informative experience! After Sensei Miladi taught us the basic rules, we put on our gi's and worked on 2 Katas, Shotokan Jion taught by Sensei Miladi and Shito-Ryu Bassai-Dai taught by guest instructor Sensei Joey Cruz. The refresher on Jion was of course much needed and for all the Shotokan practitioners, Sensei Joey's explanations of the major differences between Shotokan Bassai-Dai and Shito-Ryu Bassai-Dai were invaluable. Not to mention, we had a blast!

WKF Karate Promotional Video

WKF put this promo video together, it's a pretty good overview of what we train to do.
