National courses are essential training for all students, particularly brown belts preparing to take their shodan grade and black belts looking to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in technique and kata. These courses are for JKA members only. 
 
Kyu grades are very welcome at the course – regular breaks are taken and younger students may leave in the break if they wish.
