Last weekend over thirty students from the Washinkai España karate club participated in a two day course with Shihan Chris Thompon, 8th Dan, founder and chief instructor for Washinkai Karate.
The Gasshuku focused on all aspects of Washinkai Karate techniques. The training sessions kicked off on Friday morning with a special class for the black belts and continued over Friday afternoon and Saturday for students of all ages and from all belts levels from within the Washinkai España club.
Founded in 1977 the British Traditional Karate Association (BTKA) has been at the forefront of Karate in the United Kingdom for 30 years and are members of the only governing body in English Karate to be recognised by the World Karate Federation.
Classes for adults and children are held throughout the week in JÁVEA (Sports Centre & Xàbia International College), & in BENITACHELL (Lady Elizabeth Primary & CP Maria Magdalena). Details of class times are available on the Washinkai España website.
