KASUYA SENSEI - Gradings

Congratulations to Sensei Stephen Hol who was graded to Godan (5th dan) this year by Kasuya Sensei on his national tour. Stephen runs the Portland dojo in country Victoria and has been training Shotokan for most of his adult life.

Also achieving a new rank this year was Sensei John McIntosh. Despite having overcome a debilitating motor cycle accident a number of years ago, John has perservered and was graded to the senior rank of Yondan (4th Dan) under Kasuya Sensei.

And in Perth, congratulations also to Nathan Phillips from the Maylands dojo who was graded by Kasuya Sensei this year to the rank of Sandan (3rd Dan).

NEW QUEENSLAND DOJO

Sensei Michael Looke currently runs the Springfield dojo south of Brisbane but in August he'll be spreading his wings and opening up 2 new dojo in the surrounding area; one in Darra, and the other in the Yamanto / Amberley district.

Initially the clubs will cater for children however due to pre-opening interest, adult classes will follow very soon.
