Grading day is always met with a mix of nerves and excitement for members of South Coast Shotokan Karate. Demonstrating karate technique in front of a panel of black belt examiners and parents is a bit nerve-racking for all, and sometimes for the instructors on the panel too.

When it comes to learning world class karate technique there is no better place to learn than from the Japanese masters themselves. A small group from the South Coast Shotokan Karate club did just that by attending the Shotokan Karate International Australia Winter Kangeiko (training camp) in Sydney recently.

SOUTH Coast Shotokan Karate senior instructor, David Rush is confident that performances at their recent grading examination show students in the club are progressing well and some are on track to reach their black belt in due course.
