A weekly Kata class are held at the Kodokan on Tuesdays and Thursday from 5 PM to 7 PM.
This class was started to respond to increasing need for Kata instruction in addition to the Kata class that is held once or twice a month on Saturday.
Kodokan instructors – UTSUGI Toshihiro 8th Dan, SO Yoshiaki 8th Dan, SAMESHIMA Motonari 8th Dan,
DOBA Yoshihisa 8th Dan – teach in the class.
The class is open to anyone who is interested in Kata or who wants to study more, as well as to those who wants to learn a Kata that is new to him/her.
There are also many participants who come without their Kata partner. Every time, thirty to forty participants including elementary students who are Kata beginners come and enjoy practicing together.
We are looking forward to your participation.
