Annual IFKKA Karate Camp

Wednesday, February 26, 2014

The Annual IFKKA Karate Camp is scheduled for Friday 11th to Sunday 13th April. I know this will sound like a sales line. But it really is a not to be missed event!

So much karate is covered that we don’t always have time for in the dojo and it is great to train with students and instructors from other clubs. This year we have a special guest Shihan David Pickthall from the UK. If you want to check out Shihan David’s Biography click this link http://goo.gl/w7VCFo

Be sure to register for the camp by Tuesday 25th March so you get your special edition camp t-shirt. This year’s t-shirt is looking pretty special; I wonder what colour it will be?
