A very big thanks to Shihan Funakoshi and to Sensei Ron Silverthorne from FSKA Crawley for an incredible weekend of Shotokan karate training at the 2013 FSKA karate seminar.

The annual Funakoshi Shotokan Karate Seminar took place at the K2 Leisure centre in Crawley, West Sussex on the 5th and 6th October 2013.

The event was an opportunity for FSKA Shotokan karate students from all over the UK to meet up and train with Shihan Kenneth Funakoshi, 10th Dan.

Shihan Funakoshi put the participants through their paces and taught both basic and advanced techniques of Shotokan karate.

At the end of the seminar, Shihan Funakoshi graded students who had been training to grade to 1st Dan Black belt level and above, including two students from FSKA Bracknell.

Moritz from FSKA Bracknell Karate Club successfully passed his 2nd Dan Black belt. Congratulations to Motitz on achieving this grading.
