Young Nation – All Grades
(Ages 5 – 9 years)

This will be focussed on children’s overall development with an emphasis on agility, balance and co-ordination. It is an ideal opportunity for our younger members to mix and train with other Shotokan Nation members of the same age, making it an enjoyable experience and a chance to make new friends. We would recommend all students are able to perform Kihon Kata.

11:30 to 13:30

Kumite Nation – 5th kyu and above
(Junior 10 and over, youth and senior)

This class will explore the various aspects of karate kumite. Students will receive kumite training, individual coaching and feedback from our Performance Coaches, who will utilise modern training methods to enhance the learning process. Please bring mitts, gumshields and where appropriate a groin guard/chest guard.

14:30 to 16:30

Kata Nation – 5th kyu and above
(Junior 10 and over, youth and senior)

This class will concentrate on the technical aspects of kata performance. Students will receive kata performance training, individual coaching and feedback from our Performance Coaches, utilising modern training methods to enhance the learning process.

This is an excellent opportunity for Shotokan Nation members to:

 

  • challenge themselves and their karate
  • have extra training in preparation for grading or competition
  • enhance personal and karate confidence
  • build team spirit as part of a new and exciting venture

We encourage all our members to attend, and benefit from the experience and skills of our Performance Coaches.


This will be the first in an ongoing series of Performance Courses that will take place at various locations around Shotokan Nation’s catchment area, to ensure equal opportunity for all of our members.


Shotokan Nation needs the support of our instructors, our members and of course the parents of our younger members. Please encourage your students to attend, and for those aged 10 and above please encourage them to attend both the kumite and kata sessions.
