The JKF Wado Kai Canada, Syndicated

There will be a seminar in Brantford (ON) on Sunday, October 26 and Monday, October 27. Hosted by the Brantford Bushido karate club, the focus will be traditional Wado-Ryu karate.

The instructor is Mr. Anthony Bhagwandin (3 Dan, JKF Wado Kai), and all those who want more information should contact Mr. Howard Crocker at brantfordbushido@rogers.com.

At an examination for 6th and 7th Dan candidates in Sendai (Japan), Norma Foster and three others attempted the test for their next dan grades. Norma was the only one who passed! In addition to her Kyoshi title, she is one of the few people in the JKF Wado Kai who as passed this examination. She is still the highest ranking woman in the JKF Wado Kai.

This comes on the heels of Bob Nash passing his 7th Dan examination earlier this year. This is great news for the Wado Kai federations in the United States and Canada, validating that the path Norma and Bob have chosen for themselves and their students is worth the work.

To all Wado Kai members in Canada, let’s have a beer and celebrate, eh?
