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!
