Winter Clinic a huge success!
The Maritime IKD hosted another great clinic on Saturday. Shihan David Pyke, 8th Dan, provided the large group of local karateka with an excellent day of training in basics, kata and self defense. The day ended with 60 students testing for kyu ranks and 1 student testing for 2nd degree black belt. Great job by all. Continue your training and always strive to improve. OSU!
MTA Club gets Name Change
The Mount Allison Shotokan Karate Club has changed its name to Sackville Shotokan Karate. The name change is to make the club feel more open to people from the Town of Sackville. With a very low number of university students involved in the club, Sensei Norm decided to make the change to see if he could draw more students from the community. The Town of Sackville will be helping the club with advertising in hopes of increasing the membership. Perhaps even a future move off campus.
