Kata Class

The Bathgate Kata Class will be on all Sundays in November.

I am pleased to announce that GRAHAM MCCANN 5th Dan (shukokai) and
BILLY HAGGARTY 5th Dan (shotokan) will be attending the kata class on
Sunday 15th November 6.30 – 7.30pm to teach us two katas from their
styles. This is a wonderful opportunity for Wado students to learn
katas from other styles which may help when competing in All styles
events.

Most of you will recognise them both as kata judges and referees at
most of all the competitions that you enter.
Hope to see most of you there and hopefully some new faces.

Callum Mclay 5th Dan (SKF kata coach)
