Can you test for promotions at this event….or does the clinic count toward your kata requirement. Nikyu going to Ikkyu…non-competitor.

Rahmon,
You can test for promotion at this event. If you have prepared in advance, you can test at the time of the competition. If you prefer you can test at the end of the event.

If you are interested in the clinic, but will not be competing, should you still plan to arrive at 9AM? What time will the clinic begin?

John
It would be best to arrive at 9 because the clinic immediately follows the competition. We never know exactly how many competitors we will see until the morning of the event so it is hard to know what time to show up. We should finish by 4:30 or 5.

Sorry, forgot another question – what time is the clinic expected to be finished by?
