Wow, big day yesterday with our 2026 Dan (black belt) grading at our Dojo!

Congratulations to our following students, we now have six new Shodan: Sempai Craig, Sempai James, Sempai Abigail, Sempai Reena, Sempai Josephine and Sempai Kiyaan. Plus two new Nidan: Sempai Sanjay and Sempai Tavish.

There were 22 students grading to either Shodan, Nidan or Sandan, this was one of our largest Dan grading in years! We had five Shihan on the grading panel: Shihan Murray, Shihan Gail, Shihan Tony, Shihan Ashley and myself. Shihan Sean was unable to attend due to being quite ill, but his Sensei Stu came up represent Shihan Sean and their Dojo (Omokoroa) and most importantly to supporting their two students. Again Sensei Stu thank you for all you did yesterday.

We also had Shihan Gail come up from our Dunedin branch and Shihan Ashley from our Masterton branch, both were impress with everyone and went away with a standard to model their students on.

Many thanks to our following Shihan, Sensei and Sempai who each helped out with making this grading another success: Shihan Tony, Sensei Chris, Sensei Donald, Sempai Josh, Sempai Valentina and Sempai Estella. I really appreciate all the help in the grading and even more so in our Dojo!

Well done again, our students all stood out in all aspects of the grading and represented themselves, our Dojo and me to our high standard. I'm so proud to be their Shihan.

Really looking forward to our Tuesday classes! :)

A huge congratulations to Sempai Esty for her Shodan kobudo which was graded by Hanshi Nakamoto and Takuma Sensei at their Okinawa Hombu.

Sempai Esty represented herself very well throughout the whole week and in her grading.

I know she is very proud, as is myself, Sensei Chris and Sempai Yvonne for their daughter.

I’m sure our Dojo will also be impressed and can’t wait to congratulate her as well.

👍😊👊
