SKF HQ - 1st JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS 2011

The championships were very well attended by all the participating dojos, and all junior competitors showed fine kimura shukokai spirit and courage.
For these championships a new category was introduced "IMPACT" to see how hard one can hit, but at the same time keep focused, and show fine form as you would in "Kata". These events proved to be a great success, and will be used again in next years championships.
Shihan Daniels was very pleased with the fine form and spirit shown by all who attended.
