Update - 13 July 2010

Hi everyone! We would like to apologise again for the lack of updates here on the website. I'd like to go through some information that most of you would like to know about what is going on with KDA-UK.

Student Examinations
Most students are undergoing preparation to take part in the grade examinations. These examinations will happen all throughout July and hopefully we will have a list up by the start of August.

List of examinees that have passed the exams for the months late-April until June will be posted here soon.

Curriculum Update
KDA-UK's teaching Curriculum is being standardised with that of the requirements set by the International Shotokan Karate Federation (ISKF). The changes are being made slowly so that there will be easy transition from the old lessons to the new ones.

Tournament Participation
Our club will be sending a team to the Open English Kata Championships in Wolverhampton this coming Sunday. We would like to wish all those participating the best of luck on the day!

The results for the previous tournament hasn't been posted yet but will be added soon.

Summer Schedule
Our club will be holding their regular classes this coming summer any additional or cancelled classes will be announced directly to the students.


Again, I'd like to apologise for the lack of content. But keep visiting the site to know more about our upcoming activities and news about our students.
