Course & GradingJuly, 2005.
Held on the 31st, By Chief Instructor, Sensei Jim Palmer 6th Dan S.K.I.F. An early start did not
deter the students from Stirling, Edinburgh & Glasgow. They were put through their paces by the Black Belts before sitting their
examinations in front of Palmer Sensei.
As always, Palmer Sensei was firm, but fair and the students were pleased with their results. At this time the new Kyu Grades were
introduced to the new Belt Scheme which now brings us in line with S.K.I.F. Japan.

1 Day Kata Course May, 2005.
Held on the 22nd,
The Kanazawa Shotokan Ryu's Chief Instructor, Sensei Jim Palmer 6th Dan S.K.I.F., held a
Kata Masterclass for the small group of people who attended what proved to
be the highlight of the Karate Year to date.
Palmer Sensei, broke the Kata down into several phases. Demonstration,
explanation, participation, breathing and Bunkei. As always, there seems to
be plenty of time to go through Kata but, time just flew by and we only
managed to study 3 in depth. A great course and thoroughly recommended to
those unfortunate enough to miss it.
