Murphy's Karate Academy

TWO DAYS. ONE PURPOSE. BETTER KATA.

September 12–13, Claudia Laos-Loo comes to Halifax for a weekend of high-level kata training.

This isn't just about learning another kata.

It's about the details that change how you perform one.

Timing.
Speed.
Power.
Transitions.
Technical precision.

And understanding what separates a good performance from an international-level one.

Claudia brings firsthand experience from some of the biggest stages in karate, representing Canada internationally and earning medals at the Pan American Games, PKF Championships and North American Cup.
