THE SKKIF Karate Organisation held its annual autumn course at the Launceston Leisure Centre for its fourth year in succession recently.

Organised by Kyoshi Roger Carpenter, 7th Dan, and hosted by the Launceston Karate Club, the three hour session was very well attended by black belts who travelled from as far away as Ireland and the north of England.

They were fortunate to receive instruction from a high grade Sensei of 5th, 6th and 7th Dan status.
