Next Sunday July 8 at 10:45 a.m., we’re holding a Shikomu/TKAC Black Belt Class to cover ground defense. As we are aware, 85% of fights go to ground so this should “impact” our training.
Our focus will be on ground grappling rather than takedowns and throws (that’s another lesson).
There will be a TKAC Black Belt Clinic at the Shikomu Karate Club on Saturday May 26 at 12:30 p.m. lead by Hanshi Kim Dunn. The adult class will run at a modified time.
Modified Saturday Schedule:
Sensei Sandy has kindly offered TKAC the opportunity to review and standardize teaching of the Shotokan Heian Katas.
Respectfully,
Kim Dunn and Tom Okura
Joint Chief Instructors, TKAC
A kids’ grading will be held March 24 at 10:30.

There will be a TKAC Black and Brown Belt Kata Clinic Sunday March 25 at 10:45 a.m. at the Shikomu Dojo.
See you on deck.
