Goju Kai Karate - Border Region
Some members from Border joined the adult group of the 2018 Japan Cultural exchange from 8th to 16th October 2018. A big thank you to Peter Brandon Hanshi, Frank Brandon Shihan, Craig Kansley Shihan and Kaylene from our hombu dojo for all their efforts in organising and managing this trip. It was an experience none of us will ever forget. A special thank you also to Anthony Sensei for taking us under his wing in Japan and showing us around.
10 members of the delegation attempted and passed their gradings at the Hombu dojo in Tokyo with Yamaguchi Saiko Shihan, Masatoshi Shihan, Peter Brandon Hanshi and Frank Brandon Shihan on the grading panel.
