The seventh JKA Christmas Camp in France

 

On Friday 2nd, Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th December 2016 the seventh JKA Christmas Camp – an international training course and grading – took place at La Roche sur Yon (France).

As for Karate, more than half the 270 participants were either instructors or assistant instructors but all grades benefited from the excellent teaching provided by the visiting sensei whose close attention to detail and accessibility pleased everyone.

Over three days, karate-ka trained in separate groups according to their level and worked with NAKA Tatsuya Sensei (Japan), SHIMZU Ryosuke Sensei (Japan) and Daniel LAUTIER Sensei (France). Studying and perfecting basics, working on kata and developing a feel for Kumite allowed each person to improve their technical level.

On Saturday morning an Instructors & Assistants course was led by NAKA Sensei in order to ensure that all work and teaching practices agree with the standards of the JKA WF, but also to educate everyone in substantive work.

The JKA Christmas Camp organizers – Dojos Yon & Vie De Karate ヨン生活空手道場 – had the pleasure of welcoming karateka from all over France as well as from abroad including Belgium, Chile, Germany, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Portugal, Russia and Ukraine.

The Dojos Yon & Vie De Karate ヨン生活空手道場 and their instructor Emmanuel ETIENNE would like to warmly thank all the participants in seventh JKA Christmas Camp as well as NAKA Tatsuya Sensei, SHIMIZU Ryosuke Sensei and Daniel LAUTIER Sensei for their presence and the quality of their instruction.
