Kime no Kata Clinic North Bend, OR April 26, 2025

This weekend Shipyard hosted a clinic for Kime no Kata (Forms of Decision), the old style self defense kata (forms) for judo. We had clinicians come down from Washington to share their knowledge and skills with us. Sensei (teachers) Delynn and Mikey are former world champions and Sensei Mike was their coach. Sensei Dave came along to be the “bad guy” in most of the scenarios. Also in attendance were participants from all along the coast of Oregon.

It was a long, hard day but lots of fun also. We all learned a lot and hopefully everyone will take this information back to their home gyms. Thank you all for attending.
