We end this year with another memorable grading weekend at the Aoyama dojo with so many students trying out and showing they can get to that next level. Yamaguchi-Sensei reminded all of us how difficult it can be to improve but if we set our paths and objectives well and persevere then good results will always come.
It seems next there will be some new changes to the way we will practice and compete with Yamaguchi-Sensei mentioning that a lot more focus will be placed on safety with the usage of protection equipment. A new era is about to begin for Mugen Karate and I truly look forward to that in the new year.
