Our head instructor got promoted on the weekend.


Recommended Posts

We had our Senji (gradings) on the weekend followed by a bow in to the samurai warrior and the way of Bushido. Just after that we were awarded our new belts as well as a few other trophies. Our head instructor (Renshi Peter) was given a plaque and a few other things to celebrate our style's 15th anniversary. During the Senji we had a few guests from around Australia who form part of the nation's martial arts governing body (I'm unsure of what it's called). During the celebrations they came out with a certificate asking Renshi Peter to accept the new title of Shihan/Master Instructor (I'm sure that's what it's called). He was in tears and for the first time ever he was completely speechless. It's the first time I think I've been so proud of someone who wasn't a direct friend or family member.

Awards ceremonies like these are enjoyable in themselves, but you attended an exceptional one. Shihan/Master Instructor is an honor.

Fifteenth anniversary of your style, Kaizen Ryu? I did a quick Internet search and found that it has kata and training from Goju and Shotokan. It sounds interesting.

Congratulations to Renshi Peter. Will he now be addressed as Shihan Peter, Ozpunker?

What an honor - congratulations to your instructor! :)
