How to improve your kata?
In order to get the maximum benefit from kata, one should work separately on “The Seven Ways to Practice Kata”. The Seven Ways are: Form, Power, Speed, Eye Contact, Breathing, Fighting Rhythms, and Kiai. Each of these will improve one's ability to execute the techniques in the kata in the most effective manner.

A great day at the Jin-Ai-Kan Karate Academy New Ross open competition. Many thanks to Sensei Mariusz and his team for hosting a great event.Well done to all our students who competed.

“The true test of martial arts is how you handle defeat.” “A true martial artist never fights for personal gain, but to protect others.” “Martial arts is not just about physical strength, it’s about mental and emotional strength as well.” “The greatest weapon in martial arts is not the fist or the foot, but the mind.” Fantastic turn out tonight week done to all our students
