Once again Canada Bay Council asked KKC Karate to hold a karate clinic as part of their school holiday activity program. We had a great time with some return attendees from previous karate clinics.
We spent 2 hours giving the kids an introduction to karate and finish it off with a bit of sword combat, which is always good fun. Be sure to check the photos in the gallery click here.
Shihan David Pickthall from the UK recently held a series of karate seminars in Sydney for the IFKKA. The first seminar was held on Thursday 10th April and was only open to the junior students of the IFKKA. We had 32 students from across the Sydney dojos that were treated to a great training session. Shihan David is truly one of Kyokushin Karate formidable karate practitioners, it was a great session. Shihan David is pictured centre front row; more photos of the session are posted in the photo gallery click here.
The second session of the night was for teenagers and adults with 36 attendees pictured below who were treated to a fabulous training session based on knockdown techniques and pad work. We also had some visitors from other Kyokushin groups join us for the evening which was great and most welcome; click here to view photos from the session. This was a great session that set the tone for the next 5 days of karate training with Shihan David, Osu!

This years camp Was held from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th April and as promised this was a not to be missed event! We were once again treated to training with Shihan David Pickthall from the UK for the duration of the camp.
There were 52 attendees (pictured above) at the camp with one person travelling from Perth just to train with Shihan David.
From the first session on Friday afternoon for black belts only to the first open session of the camp on Friday night to the final session on Sunday afternoon, everyone attending were in awe of working with such a skilled Karateka such as Shihan David, who made everything seem effortless. Osu! Pictured below are KKC Karate students with Shihan David. By the way the t-shirt colour this year was blue, looks good. Click here to view more photos in the photo gallery.
Whilst Shihan David Pickthall was in Australia the IFKKA took the opportunity to run additional training sessions during the school holidays on Monday 14th Clicker Kumite and Tuesday 15th April Knockdown, we were treated to 2 fabulous days of training.
The focus for the two sessions was to help prepare the Juniors (8 to 15years) and Cadet students (16 and 17years) for the upcoming 4th IFK World Junior Tournament to be held in Israel on 21st March 2015. Attendance was open to other students and organisations too, both days were great, thank you Shihan David, Osu!
