Introduction
The Japan Karate Shotorenmei Netherlands is directly affiliated to the
Japan Karate Shotorenmei. The Japan Karate Shotorenmei Netherlands was
established februari 2010 after 3 years of contact with the JKS
(GB & Ireland) with
Sensei Scott Langley and
Sensei Alan Campbell. After consulting each other a request was made at
the JKS headquarters in Japan and they honoured us to be the the interst
group of JKS in The Netherlands.
Organisation
There is only one chief instructor within the JKS and that is Asai
sensei, therefore, affiliated countries have technical directors to
maintain standards and guide students. The JKS Karate Netherlands is run
by committee. Alan Campbell is Chairman and Scott Langley is Technical
Director.
The aims of the JKS
Karate Netherlands are:
- To teach traditional Shotokan karate as taught at the JKS hombu dojo,
Japan.
- To provide a fair, legitimate and democratically run organisation.
- To allow access to the best instruction and competition.
- To have all dan grades registered with Japan.
- To allow members to qualify as JKS instructors, examiners and
referees.
- To help students and instructors achieve their goals within karate.
- To maintain and develop the connection with Japan.
JKS The Netherlands feels
that only by being open and transparent, whilst simultaneously actively
promoting talented students and instructors, can it develop and grow
into a major force within the karate world.
