Matsuri!
On April 6th, the Penn State Karate Club gave demonstrations at the Penn State Japanese Friendship Association’s annual Matsuri, spring festival.
At the conclusion of our demonstration, brave audience members joined us on stage to learn Fukyugata Dai Ichi. A kata created by Master Shoshin Nagamine as an introductory form to help promote Karate to others. We also teach Fukyugata Ni, created by Master Chojun Miyagi.
Thank you to the members of the JFA for all your work organizing this great event and inviting the PSKC to be part of it again.

Spring 2025 Student Involvement Fair
Look for the Penn State Karate Club at the Student Involvement Fair. The event is one of the best opportunities to get involved in campus life at Penn State. Student Organizations set up displays and have members on site talk to visitors one on one about what their organization does on campus. Involvement in co-curricular experiences is one of the most important parts of having a successful college career! You will make friends, learn all about Penn State, and develop invaluable skills you will use in life beyond Penn State. Wondering where to start? Start at the Involvement Fair! Look for the Penn State Karate Club table!
