The IJKA UK Winter Seminar took place at Worcester on 11th February 2023.

Keith Crighton Sensei 7th Dan IJKA took the seminar and his 50 years with Kato Shihan were evident in the quality of instruction given throughout the day.

Mind games with Kihon and Kumite routines were excellent, as was the focus on the ‘Shodan’ katas, Bassai Dai and Junro Shodan.

Congratulations to James Spry and Chris Adams of the Worcester Dojo for successfully reaching the first step, Shodan, on the day.

Kato Shihan’s spirit was with us in the dojo.

IJKA UK look forward to more seminars this year.
