The Association for the Advancement of Karatedo (AAK) would like to welcome into its family and growing list of clubs AAK-St. Scholastica’s College of Manila. The club was established due to the increasing demand of students who studied in St. Scholastica’s College like Kata (Forms) and Kumite (Sparring) Champion Regina Mikka Velasquez Sempai and Perennial National Double Gold Medallist in both Kata and Kumite and 2002 World Cup Silver Medallist Raissa Mikaela Velasquez.

Practices are held during Wednesdays 4 - 6 p.m. at the St. Methtileds room 3rd floor Grade School building.
Another club that AAK would like to welcome back into its fold is AAK La Salle
Greenhills (LSGH). One of the steadier clubs of the 70’s, 80’s and
early 90’s, AAK-LSGH has been a good source of talents and instructors.
