Limited Kata List for Recreational Divisions Postponed to 2020
On the recommendation of the Technical Committee, we have decided to postpone the implementation of a kata list for our recreational divisions at the Provincial Championships for another year.
The Technical Committee, in consultation with all member clubs, will be refining the list of permitted kata for recreational divisions in 2020, in the coming months.
We are encouraged by the consensus among all instructors on this issue. We just need to get the kinks worked out.
We feel that such a list will have a number of positive outcomes:
- It will establish a more level playing field;
- It will encourage greater participation among those members who wish to compete for fun and experience; and,
- It will lead to better development for our young athletes in the future.
Stay tuned for more information updates from myself in the coming weeks, and if you have a question for myself or the Board, please don’t hesitate to contact us!
