The Squad develops selected members of JKA England to compete at international competitions. Training and competition continue throughout the year to ensure our members are ready to compete at Japan Karate Association international competitions. 
 
Every squad member starts their journey at the JKA England Club level โ€“ training, grading, competing. This focus on Club training continues throughout development. It is regular practice that provides the strength, power and technical knowledge that squad members need to be successful. Squad layers on additional intensive training sessions focused on competition kata and kumite โ€“ refining and improving. Squad members compete in a wide variety of competitions within England to test out these skills. 
 
When squad members are ready to be selected for the JKA Europeans and JKA World Championships they can test out their skills against the best in the world. JKA England are proud to say our small team regularly finds itself in the final rounds and on the medal podium at these competitions! 
If you are interested in finding out more about training with the squad, please contact the Squad Manager. We are looking for Junior members (under 16) who are 3rd kyu and above and Cadet/Senior members (16+) who are 1st Dan and above. While it is important to have a strong basis in kihon, kata and kumite, it is more important to have spirit! Oss!
