SKA International Karate Friendships 2016
Passion for True Karate colours everything it touches, a feeling shared worldwide by all who eagerly devote themselves in the search for real Karate, who thirst to discover, who constantly strive to experience true Karate attitude and spirit. A bond that has established sincere friendships no matter the origin, no matter the differences.
Over the past year, SKA was fortunate to have, yet again, encountered numerous Karatekas from all over the world who have crossed our paths in our journey of Karate.
SKA would like to Thank and send Season’s Greetings to all, with the hope of meeting again soon, whilst looking forward to New encounters in store for 2017!
Below are a few photo memories of SKA Karate Friendships in 2016.
Best wishes for the Festive season and a Happy New Year of Hard training to all!
