IKGA North America Seminar 2008
This past August West Coast Gojukai (Burnaby, BC) successfully hosted the IKGA North America Seminar. IKGA President, Kaisho Goshi Yamaguchi led the training, and was assisited by Shigeki Yamada Shihan (7th Dan, Kyoshi). It was a full weekend of training including instructor training, Black Belt gradings, an open class for BC clubs outside of IKGA, and a demonstration led by Saiko Shihan Yamaguchi.
Everyone who attended the seminar reported that it was a fantastic experience! If you couldn't make it this year, be sure to plan to be at the next one!
Calgary Gojukai members who passed the Dan Exams were:
Rob Richardson - Godan (5th Dan)
Thomas Llewellyn - Nidan-ho (2nd Dan)
David Filleul - Shodan (1st Dan)
John Sherban - Shodan-ho (1st Dan)
Congratulations to everyone!
Thank you to Donna Gardecki Sensei and all members of West Coast Gojukai for all your hard work in making the seminar a success! It is an incredible amount of effort to host a seminar like this and you all did an amazing job. Well Done!
