  $g_{K N \Lambda}$ and $g_{K N \Sigma}$ are calculated using a QCD sum rule
motivated method used by Reinders, Rubinstein and Yazaki to extract Hadron
couplings to goldstone bosons. The SU(3) symmetry breaking effects are taken
into account by including the contributions from the strange quark mass and
assuming different values for the strange and the up down quark condensates. We
find $g_{K N \Lambda}/\sqrt{4 \pi} = - 1.96 $ and $g_{K N \Sigma}/\sqrt{4 \pi}
= 0.33 $
