TOURNAMENT TEAMLast Updated: April 08 2024 20:47:35 |
Our karate school has begun an Olympic-style tournament training team to develop Karate athletes. The team is divided into two squads:
Athlete development is based on the World Karate Federation (WKF) rules and princples. Tournament training is kept separate from karate classes because the two are very different. Karate does not require athleticism and rules do not apply in self defense. Participation in tournament training is voluntary. |
