Join the UMass Shotokan Karate Club for its first ever intercollegiate invitational tournament and demonstration! This event is free and open to the public. Come take a look at this very special exhibition of local karate talent!

Planned events include self-defense demonstrations, kata (forms) applications and bunkai, ippon tournament, and a very special presentation in Iaido (Japanese Live Blade) by Alice Scudder 4th Dan. Participants will include members from the UMass, Brown University and, Smith College dojos. More information about this event is posted on the UMass Shotokan Karate website.

The UMass Shotokan Karate Club is currently recruiting new members. We have a very strong beginners program and typically welcome 60 to 100 new members into the club each semester. No experience is necessary and the Club is open to everyone (students/grads/non-students/general community). Please visit the UMass Shotokan Karate website for more information about the club, our dojo and this semester's training schedule.

Oss!
