Authentic Karate Training Center

Okikukai Northeast held its spring pretest yesterday for sixteen candidates, ranging from Shodan to Rokudan. The event spanned five hours, during which candidates demonstrated all of their testing requirements, including basic fundamentals, kata, body conditioning, free sparring, bunkai, and prearranged kumite, all of which reflect the classical testing syllabus of Uechi Ryu.

At the conclusion of the afternoon, each candidate received detailed feedback from the board to focus on over the next five weeks. We look forward to seeing everyone again in May. Keep up the strong work.

Saturdays are kumi-days at the Shiseikan. Lots of fun working on the “consensual violence” side of the coin.
