You need to make time and space for it. Skill sets in karate are best taught in person. There is no replacement for that. However, our world has changed. People today want immediate access to information. And it has to be relevant to their instant needs. Think about how you are likely to approach a task at home. You turn on a YouTube instructional video to understand what has to be done just before you begin your task. This requires you to know where to go to access that video information. This is the objective of the SWKKF website -- to provide you with a single source where you can access what you need or find clear directions to where the information can be obtained. The information can relate to clinics, videos, instruction manuals, online courses, certifications, etc. It could relate to refining a particular skill set or even starting a new karate club. With the help of various Committee Members, the SWKKF has developed a series of training programs. These programs or instruction sets are available Online or through Clinics conducted by highly skilled senseis (instructors).
