NewsJyoshinmon members who achieved their Dan Grade at the last Grading in November 2024 were formally awarded with their certificate. This took place on 28th February 2025, after our usual Black Belt Training on Fridays at the New Lynn Dojo.
All Dan Grade certificates are made and sent from Jyoshinmon Japan which is why these particular certificates are not usually awarded at the actual Dan Grading.
Presenting the certificates were – Shihan David Bennet, Sensei Beaty Bennett, and Renshi Chris Bennett.
Unfortunately not all were able to make it to the Presentation and the celebratory dinner afterwards. Still a massive CONGRATULATIONS to those who passed!
