Free State JKA vision

Free State JKA under leadership of Kovsie karate club (dojo) developed a system of balancing the education and competitive sides of karate. This policy focuses on personal development per se. As long as we all acknowledge that we are not perfect we agree that we need to develop. Leaders, including instructors, administrative staff and supporters are included in the aim to develop personally. Our focus in competition is to develop technique and tactical skills to the extend that we are competitive in the national and international arena. We deliberately reject using tactics to cheat on an opponent or skills to intimidate an opponent. In other words we train to develop the opponent as well.
