Annual Shotokan Kata Review, January 10, 2026
Our 28th annual “Shotokan Kata Review” is coming up on January 11th (Saturday), 8:30-10:30am. We will go through all 27 traditional Shotokan kata, twice each. And if time permits we will review additional kata. This is a great opportunity to discover (or re-discover) the breadth of the traditional Shotokan kata syllabus.
Sensei Jon Keeling has been running this annual event since 1999 (this is our 28th consecutive year) and during/between kata repetitions reviews history, training points, variations, application ideas and personal reflections. We will be running this event both in-person and simultaneously online. Dojo attendance is limited and registration is required.
Sign up here for the virtual version (just $10 for non-SVSK members; $5 for members):
All SVSK members who know at least the first couple kata are welcome (colored belt youth, white belt adults). Current Silicon Valley Karate dojo members are welcome at the reduced rate of just $20 for this special event in the dojo ($35 for non-members). Instructors from other dojo often attend these to fill in gaps in their kata knowledge.
