Shintani Team Evaluation Camps
(Being Updated Shortly)
Evaluation Camps
Evaluation Camps are held once a year in the fall, with results posted shortly after completion of the evaluation.
For the 2022-23 year, the Shintani Team will be divided into X classifications. SWKKF karatekas who meet the eligibility criteria and attend one of the Shintani Team Evaluation Camps may be selected for the 2022-23 Shintani Team.
During the Shintani Team Evaluation, participants will be assessed for their skills in kata and kumite. They may also be placed on the Shintani Team Roster.
In order to encourage greater SWKKF member attendance, we will be hosting X evaluation camps for Team selection for 2022/23. Details are provided below. Please also check the Events Page for more information.
Note: The cost of hosting these Team evaluations are quite significant. To help defer the facility costs, there will be a charge of $x per per participant at each evaluation camp.

SWKKF Members who cannot attend the Team Evaluation Camps

Members who are unable to attend any of the team evaluation camps can become a part of the Developmental Team by submitting an application and payment of the team fee. The member may be evaluated at the following training camp and if an Elite level position is not available they will remain on the Developmental Team.
