Kempo Instructor promoted to 10th Dan!

[NewEnglands_KyoSa]

Those are very good suggestions, and we would if it was just a tradition of the organization we left. Because it is a tradition of Kempo, and he is more than qualified for such a rank, my current Instructor who runs the school insists. I see no problem with it, and if it's kempo tradition then so be it.

Now, if he was a 7th or 8th and we had to jump him to 10th, or if he wasn't worthy i would step up and say well...following that tradition might jeopardize the integrity of the school. That, in my eyes would be a big no no, tradition or no tradition.

This, I agree with. It definitely needs to be a worthwhile promotion.
