What Adult Fighting is for
Most karate classes split time across kihon, kata, and kumite. Adult Fighting throws all of it into one focus: making your kumite better. If you've ever wanted to actually use what you've drilled — this is the class where it happens. Friday night, 7:30 to 9:00, taught directly by Shihan.
Three reasons to train Friday nights
Sharpen technique
Combinations, footwork, distance management, defensive drills. The technical work behind real fighting that doesn't fit in a regular class.
Build wind
Kumite at intensity exposes whatever conditioning gap you have. The class builds the cardio that lets you fight in the third round, not just the first.
Test yourself
Live partner work — controlled and supervised. Whether you're preparing for a tournament or just want to know what you're capable of, this is the room.
Who attends
Open to all adult ranks (13+), but expect contact. Beginners are welcome — we don't throw new students into knockdown sparring. Intensity scales to your level. Most regulars are 6th KYU (Yellow) and above, with a strong contingent of Green and Brown belts who use Friday Fighting to keep tournament-sharp.
Gear you'll need
For full participation in kumite drills: mouth guard ($22), gloves ($85), and shin pads ($65). Beginners can attend without gear and stay on the technique side. EKKC carries Isami brand equipment at the dojo — many students buy gear after their first month or two.
Tournament path
EKKC hosts the annual Alberta Open Championships. Many of our Friday Fighting regulars compete there, and across Western Canada more broadly. Friday Fighting is the natural feeder into our invitation-only Monthly Fight Team Camp for serious competitors.
