2012 December 15th - Adults Grading (Azabu Juban)

We had the last grading test for year at the Azabu Juban Dojo last Saturday.

There were many trying out for the next level and it was great to see everyone perform so well.
Of course the main event was the black belt tests. This time we saw 4 great individuals trying out.
Taga-san, Angelo, Tei-san and Yasu-san did so well and all deserved to pass.

It was fantastic to be there so support everyone else who tried out.

It is always an emotional time to be at these grading tests.
You see so many people show their true colors and you see so much support.

Thank you again to Yamaguchi-sensei who is always helping us to get to that next level with great guidance and inspiring lessons. Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon to practice hard and enjoy each other’s company.

 

2012 November Tournament

It is always a great pleasure to be at Mugen kids and adults tournaments. So many things happen and all wonderful memories to be taken away. This time the event was at the Chuo-ku Sogo Sports Center. It was great location offering so much space, perhaps too much but everyone could enjoy themselves and we able to see clearly. Yamaguchi-sensei again guided us through a thrilling time with many in-depth comments on each match and praised all for participating in such a supportive nature.  It was fantastic to be there with everyone and to be able to capture some of the moments.
