Kata on the Mountain for Karate Day
In conjunction with Karate Day 2024, some PSKC members hiked Mt. Nittany to enjoy the fall foliage and practice kata on top of the mountain.
Karate Day
October 25th is “Karate Day” in Okinawa
On this day in 1936, prominent Okinawan masters gathered in Naha and formally adopted the term Kara-Te 唐手 (empty hand). The masters present included Hanashiro Chomo (1869-1945), Kyan Chotoku (1870-1945), Motobu Choki (1871-1944), Miyagi Chojun (1888-1953), Kiyoda Juhatsu (1886-1967, Chibana Chosin (1885-1969), and Shinpan Shiroma (1890-1954).

Isshin Ryu’s Dragon Man
島袋龍夫
Over a century ago, in the small village of Chan, on a small island in the south pacific, a boy was born. One day he would become a Karate Master whose art would reach beyond the shores of Okinawa and spread across the globe.

Look for PSKC at the Involvement Fair today (9/3)!
The Involvement Fair is one of the best opportunities to get involved in campus life at Penn State. The Penn State Karate Club will have members on site talk to visitors one-on-one about the club. PSKC will be on the HUB Lawn from 1:30 – 5PM.
Involvement in co-curricular experiences is one of the most important parts of having a successful college career! You’ll make friends, learn all about Penn State, and develop invaluable skills you will use in life beyond Penn State.
Join the Penn State Karate Club this fall!
