Open Karate Seminar
Saturday - August 1, 2009
From Sensei Coffman: "This year there will be a revision in the pricing structure for SMOKA Seminars." It will be a change for some of you, but will not effect others.
Effective, starting with June 28, 2008 open seminar, headmasters of schools who are "not" charter members of SMOKA, will be admitted free of charge for the "First Time" SEMINAR ATTENDANCE "ONLY".
However, if you are a returning headmaster of a school, and register three (3) students, your seminar fee will be waived as in year's past. This applies to the chief instructor of a school "only", and will be given to the senior Yudansha if there are partners involved. If there is a partnership involved, each partner must have two (2) students each registered to receive a complimentary seminar fee.
Hope to see you all in June!
Regards,
James H. Coffman
