Qualified Instruction

Nataliya Pidkovka, PhD, Chief-Instructor of the Club.

Sensei Nataliya started practicing karate in Ukraine 1993. Her black belt degrees were certified by Sensej Hirokazu Kanazawa (Shotokan Karate-do International Federation), Sensej Teruyuki Okazaki (International Shotokan Karate Federation/Japan Karate Association) and by the examination panel of Hombu Dojo Karate International Community (HDKI). Throughout her athletic and coaching career Nataliya and her team has successfully competed at the National and International level karate tournaments.
