All grades Gasshuku at the Institute and Dan Grading After 12 hours of rigorous training in the soaring heat of 26 degrees Celsius at the OTGKA Honbu Dojo, which covered the entire IOGKF curriculum, people were in appreciation that what is required to sit an examination. If one feels insecure about a certain aspect of the curriculum, there is always a helping hand to defuse any misunderstanding about the requirements. Nobody should feel that they cannot ask questions about the requirements, because karate - do is not a secret, the secret is only training, sweating and achievement. Everyone is treated as an equal, and given as much help and motivation as they need, we like to think that our Association is one family, and our goal is to help each other. We also like to put on social evening on Saturday to create interaction and communication between members. This fosters a spirit of camaraderie, which helps to create future friendships and links between dojos for the future. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people that put their trust in me. Sensei George Andrews
