Taking test on Brighton 2008 Tai-Kai
Finally, after three years, I will be able to take another DAN-test in front of our beloved grandmaster Shoto Tanemura.
In 2007 I went to Japan and passed the Level 1 Instructor test. This year, I hope to pass the tests for the KJJR 3rd dan, Asayama Ichiden Ryu Shoden Menkyo and Shinden Fudo Ryu Ten No Kata patterns.
Hopefully, Tenzan dojo will be able to travel to Japan this year...

Passed Special Instructor Level 1 test on World Taikai 2007
The 2007 World Taikai was a special anniversary Taikai. Tanemura Sensei has been training for 50 years now. We met his own teacher and were able to train and talk with many of the Shihan. After the public Taikai, there was a special intructors course.
During only two days of training, we had to memorize and practice 100 techniques and listen to many lectures about history and tradition.
On the last day we took a written test of 100 questions and showed our techniques to the grandmaster. We all passed.
