We would like to invite our past students to celebrate our 20th anniversary with us! Join us for an online training session held via Zoom. This reunion class promises to be fun as we welcome familiar faces to share in our 20 years of karate memories.

In light of the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic, SKKSA has taken the decision to close all dojos with immediate effect until after the Easter weekend. This is in line with the recent declaration of a National State of Disaster by the Presidency and the closure of schools.
We will continue to monitor the situation and advise all karateka and instructors accordingly.
We wish our SKKSA family strength and safety during this time.
We’re excited to announce our Summer Events 2016. This collection of events will conclude another action-packed year in karate.
From the 2 – 3 December, we invite our karateka to participate in the Summer Course 2016. Students will have the opportunity to meet with karateka and instructors from all our dojos over a weekend dedicated to sharing knowledge and forging friendships. On 4th December, we will conduct our final kyu examinations.
A week later, we will host the 16th edition of the SKKSA Awards Evening at the Elangeni Hotel in Durban. This final event is set to conclude the year in style as we honour the achievements of our students over 2016. Tickets are available from your dojo instructor.

Our student management system, SKKSA ID, will be getting a major update later this month.
We have introduced a new set of software tools that will enable our instructors to have more control over the information pertaining to their dojos. As such, from the end of July 2016, you can request information regarding your student profile directly from your instructor.
SKKSA ID was introduced in 2014 and has set us apart from other karate organisations by streamlining the student records system and digitising examination, training, seminar and student data. This major update will allow you to get information regarding grading eligibility a lot quicker than before.
Full training reports for Saturday Training will now be available on-demand rather than the bi-annual process in the past. This allows you to keep track of your attendance and make sure you’re within the margin to be eligible for entering final senior exams.
The new software will allow our instructors to have a better understanding of the student base in their dojo, and make class decisions that are better informed. The software forms part of our “Osaka Tools for SKKSA” suite, developed in-house by SKKSA Media.
