Huge turnout in York for course with Alan Campbell and Shinji Nagaki
Sunday 22nd February saw a huge turnout in York for the JKS England annual February course and grading in York featuring the Head of JKS England, Alan Campbell Sensei and former WKF and JKS World Champion Shinji Nagaki Sensei.
The day started early with lower kyu grades sessions before culminating in 4 hours of brown and black belt karate in the afternoon. The sessions were split between kyu and Dan grades with Alan Sensei and Nagaki Sensei rotating. Many aspects of shotokan karate were covered during the course of the day which turned out to be a huge success.
