JKS Scotland are proud to announce the forthcoming special Gasshuku course to be held on 25/26th October at Dalgety Bay Sports Centre with special guest instructors Makita Sensei and Langley Sensei.  Makita Sensei is a 28 year old 4th Dan direct from JKS Honbu Dojo in Japan with an impressive career history for such a young exponent of the Karate world.

After graduating from this course in 2004, he became the 2006 All Japan Kumite and Kata Champion followed by various medal places at the 2007 JKS World Championships. He is currently a full time instructor at JKS Honbu Dojo. 
Langley Sensei was a regular competitor in major competitons winning, both in kata and kumite, the National Championships five times, European Championships three times, and the 1996 World Championships in Moscow. He is also one of a small handful of non-Japanese practitioners to graduate from the intensive JKA/JKS Instructors Program. Scott was determined to develop JKS Karate so he then moved to Ireland where he is now a full time instructor teaching throughout Ireland, UK and the rest of Europe. He is currently Technical Director of the JKS (GB & Ireland). This course has limited spaces available and will fill up very quickly so in order to secure your place, please return your completed application form with full payment to the JKS Scotland Honbu Dojo ASAP to avoid disappointment. We at JKS Scotland look forward to seeing you on this prestigious course with 2 world class instructors leading the way. |
