Congratulations to Joanna Choe who was promoted to 1st Kyu (brown belt / black tip) a couple of weeks ago, at a grading conducted by Shorinjiryu Kenyukai Watanabe Ha Karate Australia chief instrutor Shihan Jim Griffin and Kengokan head instructor Renshi Des Paroz.
Joanna performed kata, yakusoku kumite and buki-ho well. Her progress reflects the excellent effort she has put in over 3.5 years of training in Shorinjiryu karate.
