To begin preparation for Special Training, our dojo will be having a 1,000 Oizuki Practice on Wednesday night.

All members are welcome to attend.
In addition, we will be having a 5,000 Oizuki Practice in January prior to Special Training (date to be finalized).
These practices are an excellent way to begin to prepare, mentally and physically, for Special Training.

KYU (BELT) GRADING
Saturday,  November 21, 2009

All Members Registration:   9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

 All Members Grading:   10:00 a.m. to end.

   Adults and Kids will grade together.

There will be a pizza party after grading!!

 

The gradings are held twice each year (April and November) and your annual membership fee covers the cost. Understand, this event is not a contest or an award ceremony, but a tool to enhance the study of Karate-Do. Students should prepare well and use grading and ranking to help motivate their daily training. Grading provides feedback on areas of strengths as well as weaknesses. We feel that all members will benefit by participating and should make every effort to attend.

Annual Shotokan Ohshima Dojo

Jiyu Kumite Clinic

Taught by Greg Scott

Saturday  April 4th 2009

10AM to 1PM  &  2:30PM to 5:30PM

This year’s Jiyu Kumite (sparring) clinic at the Shotokan Ohshima Dojo in Santa Barbara will take place on Saturday April 4, 2009 prior to the annual Dan Test and Nisei Week Tournament.  Two sessions are scheduled: the first from 10:00AM to 1:00PM and a second session from 2:30PM to 5:30PM.  The cost is $60.00 and a light snack will be included.  Greg has taught this seminar at many locations across the United States.  Ohshima Sensei has personally requested a repeat of the clinic this year.

 

The clinic this year will cover fighting strategies as well as methods for developing a Jiyu Kumite class for different levels.  Many of SKA’s strongest members attribute a portion of their success to the study of Jiyu Kumite and nearly all can benefit from the continued opportunity to polish the “pre-fight” mentality and confidence building skills provided in this type of practice.  This seminar is open to all SKA Members (white belts should have senior instructor approval and be familiar with basic sparring techniques).

 

Because of format changes, qualifying for this year’s Nisei Week Tournament will be more difficult.  Those interested in qualifying are especially encouraged to attend this seminar.
