New student handbook: This handbook will serve as a reference tool throughout your training. It contains helpful information such as dojo rules and regulations, terminology, kata, testing requirements, etc. All this information can be found on massdojo.com as well. Please visit the site for updates. Clothing & Equipment: Uniforms, accessories and equipment are available for purchase at any time. Sparring equipment can be purchased at any time but is required upon completing the first karate promotional examination. No equipment, including uniforms purchased elsewhere, will be permitted for use in the dojo. Questions: Feel free to call or preferably e-mail sensei at your convenience: [email protected] . Please refrain from interrupting the instructor teaching staff during instruction and in between classes unless absolutely necessary. This will help out everyone keep classes running smoothly and on time. Testing: Karate is unique in that there are promotional examinations where students are awarded belts for improving their skill and knowledge. Testing takes place every two months. As students reach higher belt levels there are waiting periods in Karate-do Student Handbook for: between tests. This is so more complicated katas can be learned and skills can be improved.

Mi primer agradecimiento se lo debo al karate, ya que por él estoy escribiendo estas líneas. Me siento afortunado por haber tenido la suerte de conocerlo, practicarlo y poder haber hecho de él mi estilo de vida. Los valores que en él se transmiten, y que teóricamente se deben de poner en funcionamiento desde el primer día de su práctica, son los que llevan a los karatecas a su más alto nivel también como personas. Son sin duda alguna, los principios de la vida, pero en el dojo (lugar donde se practican artes marciales) éstos se suelen inculcar un poco más.

    The Lion ! The official magazine of the Chiltern Karate Association December 2019 Takuya Taniyama 1965 - present Foreword…. Osu! Welcome to the December 2019 edition of The Lion! The front-page features another of giants of Shotokan karate – Takuya Taniyama Sensei. Born in 1965, he was a student of Takushoku university. At the age of 25 yrs old he graduated from the JKA Instructors course and became a full-time Honbu dojo instructor. A kumite specialist, he won the all Japan Karate Championships for kata in 1995, 1996, 1998 and 2001 and then decided to concentrate on kata. And then something extraordinary happened…. Taniyama entered the kumite competition of the 50th JKA championships, and at the relatively (in elite competition terms) of 42 years old….he won! Members of the CKA were fortunate to train with Taniyama Sensei in Tokyo in 2018, at the Takushoku University. My heartfelt thanks to you all for the support you have shown myself & the CKA during 2019. Without the commitment of you, the students, the CKA could not continue to thrive & flourish. 2020 looks set to be a bumper year for the CKA, with many guest instructors in the pipeline, access to external competitions and, of course, the annual BBQ! Good luck to everyone grading today!
