June 8th tests

2019 Meiryukan joint tests and Ando shihan seminar (6/8)

 

On Saturday, June 8th Ando sensei came to Kasukabe, Saitama to test our Meiryukan members for brown belt and above. We had one kids shodan and one kids nidan. As for adults - 2 people tested for 3rd kyu, one for 1st, 5 for shodan, 1 nidan and 2 for sandan. All passed! Congratulations! Great job by all (ukes included).

Following the tests, Ando Shihan taught an hour and 15 minute special seminar on some of the points he seen during the tests, as well as the connection between some basic and advanced movements. 40 people ranging from complete beginner to long time black belts took part in the training. All went home inspired.

Thanks to Ando Sensei for once again making time to come out to Saitama. Thanks to the Meiryukan dojo representatives for the help preparing and running the full day event. Thanks to all the members and families for their continued support. More pics to come...
