The Northwest Territories Karate Association (NWTKA) is hosting a Kumite Clinic at Mildred Hall Back gym on May 19 – 21. Special guest instructor Sensei Yevhen Motovylin will be leading the clinic. I highly encourage students to attend, this is a great opportunity to fit more training in before the end of the season!! There is no additional cost to attend since all students are members of the NWTKA.

From January 27 – 29 the NWT Karate Association (NWTKA) is hosting NCCP Canada Games Training Sessions and Workshops.  Please see the attached poster for the location, schedule, and age requirements for each session.  For those that are too young to train at some of the sessions feel free to stop by and watch.  It will be a great experience for the children to see where they can progress as they keep training.

There is no additional fee for these workshops since we are NWTKA members.
