Today, we had Sepai Manasa join us and give our Suva Kas a good run.
We welcome him to our Dojo and get to learn as much as we can especially in international competition and understanding rules.

Blessed weekend kas!!!

We had the pleasure of Training with Sensei Emosi Cagi from our Nadi Dojo.
Training was a hype where kas were divided into groups of new-kas, upcoming grading kas, seniors of the kas and our elite Black belt kas.

Today our kas focused on first kata - Geksadaichi and bunkai.

What is the difference between kata and Bunkai?

While kata is regarded as the 'art form' of karate, the original premise behind all kata is self-defense. Behind each technique lies multiple hidden self-defense application/s. The application of the techniques within kata is known as 'Bunkai'.

Starting this Friday - Adults fitness and self defence class, 6pm - 7:30pm at the YMCA in Suva
