KARATE

Competition karate at SEISHIN gives students the opportunity to challenge themselves beyond regular dojo training, developing confidence, technical ability, composure and competitive experience through Kata and Kumite.

WHAT COMPETITION LOOKS LIKE AT SMAA

KATA

Precision. Control. Performance.

Students develop technical accuracy, power, rhythm, presentation and the confidence required to perform individually under pressure.

KUMITE

Speed. Strategy. Courage.

Athletes develop distance, timing, reaction, tactical awareness and controlled competitive fighting skills.

COMPETITION

From our youngest students stepping onto the tatami for the first time to experienced national and international athletes, competition provides an opportunity to test skills, build confidence and celebrate progress.
