Special practices focusing on endurance and practical forms of self-defense will also be featured at the end of the semester. (((This is an advancing course - continuing students will progress to more complicated material each semester.))) Pre-requisites: Completion of OPRA-0101 "Beginning Shotokan Karate". Class meets in the South Lounge on the 2nd floor of the Robert Crown Center. 5-College students will be graded pass/fail.
