Dan Grading – May 2024

Dan Grading – May 2024

What a great day of skill, perseverance, character, hope, dedication, application, the list of exceptional human attributes goes on……

CONGRATULATIONS
 to everyone who successfully graded up to 1st dan black belt and those who continued their kuro obi journey to reach 2nd dan. 

Think of this great achievement as thebeginning of your learning journey, especially now that your understanding of Shotokan Karate has increased so much that you have earned a black belt promotion and can now start to investigate and improve every tiny movement you make and turn those into even more dynamic and explosive techniques.

Now it is time again to embrace the learning of your new techniques and 5 new katas as we continue to build on and improve your growing skill sets and increase the knowledge and intensity of your training.

[ SPEED+RELAXATION+PRECISION+EFFORT=DYNAMIC KARATE]
