Thank you to all those who took part in the SKK 2026 Easter Kata Challenge! The grand total stands at 2,048 with 44 participants and 58 different kata - smashing last year's 1,750 total. Kanzenki contributed 847 kata (our red belts contributing over half of our total - an amazing effort). Thank you Sensei Brian for organising, and well done everyone!
