JKA England National Course & Dan Grading (2025)

Hertfordshire Sports Village, De Havilland Campus, Mosquito Way, Hatfield, AL10 9EU

Join us for the essential JKA England National Course—an important opportunity for all karate students to deepen their training. This event is especially beneficial for brown belts preparing for Shodan grading and for black belts seeking the latest insights in kata and technique. Participation is exclusively for JKA members.

Karate practitioners of all levels, including kyu grades, are warmly welcome. Regular breaks will be provided, and younger participants may leave during these breaks if necessary.
