There are 2 seminars held during the year.

The seminars are designed to give you a chance to meet other members of NFKA, and to train with them in a friendly atmosphere, and a chance for you to be taught by another clubs instructor.

The seminars also give you an idea as to what to expect in the grading that takes place a few weeks later.

Please Ensure That Your AMA Licence Is Valid Well In Advance Of ANY N.F.K.A Events You Are Taking Part In

What Happens at a Seminar?

It starts with everyone forming up in grades, e.g. All the white belts together, all the red belts together...etc

Then an instructor takes the class for a warm up and stretch session.

The class is then split up into colour groups, and an instructor will take you through grading techniques.

You are given a break after an hour of training, then another warm up and stretching session before being asked to return to your groups, then a different instructor will again go through your grading techniques.

Can Anyone Go To A Seminar?

Places are limited, so are given out on a first come first served basis please see your instructor for more details.

What do I Wear?

You have to wear your full karate suit, as you would for a grading.

What do I Need To Take With Me?

It is advisable to take enough water or juice to last you over 2 hours, because it does get extremely warm, you will also need your sparring equipment if you have any.
