There’s only a few weeks to go before the official start of the 2012-13 karate season! Hopefully everyone has been keeping up their techniques and kata! It only takes a few minutes to run all of the kata from slowly, move-by-move to tournament speed. Remember to start by concentrating on position and form and gradually moving up to your full speed with spirit and power.

See you in September!

News from the Federation

The Shintani Wado Kai Karate Federation is pleased to announce, Sensei Heather Fidyk has been appointed by election to become one of nine Senate Members.

On June 23rd 2012 Sensei Lawrence Blakemore retired from his position on the Senate.  I would like to thank Sensei Lawrence for his many years of dedication and welcome Sensei Heather in his place.

Sensei Heather will start transitioning from her current role as Alberta Provincial Representative to her new role as one of nine Senate Members.  She will also carry on with her other responsibilities to the SWKKF as well continue to lead her organization in Calgary.
