Congratulations to our student Athan. After four and a half hours pushing himself through fatigue and pain he has passed his Shodan Grading (Black belt). We are proud of how you put you all into the day, and didn’t give up. A big thank you for Shihan Takiwa coming down to grade Athan. A special thanks to Maia and his wife Cheryl, and Chris for flying down to support us with this grading. And thank you to all the South Island dojos and their student who participated. To top the weekend off we had a two hour training session the following day, which Athan also attended which takes a lot when you are sore and tired. Osu

Our Aussie trip to Kancho’s seminar. We had the please of being taught but some incredible Shihan’s and Kancho. We were there for 9 days total. We had a training session every day bar one. Then had all day Saturday and Sunday. It was a great experience for us both. We both learnt some new thing to pass on to our students. During this seminar was also a grading and both of us were candidates. We are happy to say that we did both pass. So Sensei Neil is now Forth Dan and I am now an official Sensei (third Dan). We met so many wonderful people during this seminar. The whole time was exciting and exhausting but it was worth it.

"If you have confidence in your own words, aspirations, thoughts, and actions and do your very best, you will have no need to regret the outcome of what you do. Fear and trembling are lot of the person who, while stinting effort, hopes that everything will come out precisely as he wants." ~ Mas Oyama
