Tournament Background:
On behalf of the Washington State Karate-Do Federation it is a pleasure to invite you to receive the highest level training and certification as an official with the USA Karate program, National Governing Body under the United States Olympic Committee. Sensei Fariba Madani, USA Karate Referee Committee and WFK Referee A, will be teaching a course open to all officials, athletes, coaches and interested karate-ka on February 13, 2016 at the Boeing Oxbow Activity Center, 10500 W Marginal Place S (at Boeing Developmental Center), Tukwila, Washington. We are especially eager to have non-officials present to learn first-hand and to take back to your dojo the information that will be provided. The officials seminar is scheduled from 1p - 4p.

For those already certified this is an opportunity to reach a new level of certification, renew your certification or just raise your level of confidence and proficiency. Everyone is highly encouraged to participate. The training/certification course is extremely valuable in preparing for a number of local tournaments as well as for National competitions. The WSKF Qualifier is scheduled the following day on Sunday, February 14, 2016 at Highline College.

In addition Hideharu Igaki Sensei will be conducting two athlete's seminars at the same location, Kumite Fundamentals from 10a - noon and Winning Kumite from 1p - 3p.
Hideharu Igaki Sensei coached for the U.S.A. National Karate Team from 1995 to 2009 and was the official Head Coach for the USA National Karate Federation U.S. National Karate Team from 2002 to 2009. He also was a professional kick boxer in Japan before moving to the U.S. in 1979. Sensei Igaki was the catalyst for bringing USA Karate into to forefront of world competition.

Finally Casey Mill will be offering a regional coaches seminar from 10a - noon.
