SPORT KARATE
Playing sports as a child gives you some of the fondest memories growing up. The thrill of competition, the camaraderie among teammates, and reward of self-improvement are more often found in sports than not.
JKS Scotland Karate actively encourage our members into competition if they choose to go along this route. However, the training and personal development of the individual is of most importance.
Sport Karate consists of two disciplines and training and guidance is provided for both. Kata - the solo forms, and Kumite - the point sparring event. Competitors can choose in which discipline they would like to compete, or the competitor may choose to compete in both.
The choice is yours...
