We are proud to announce that the new Higher Dan Rank Class for students who are higher than 3rd Dan in our online lessons have finally begun. We’ve already started learning three new kata right away. In this class, we plan to learn around 50 to 60 more new kata going forward.
It took over two years for us to reach the point where we could finally launch this Higher Dan Rank Class, as it required a steady increase in advanced-level trainees. The members who are currently eligible for this class are the ones who began training with us right after we started our online lessons, and who have continued to support the activities of Asayama Ichiden Ryu ever since.
I’m deeply grateful to each of them.
From now on, these members will also begin taking on roles as instructors of Asayama Ichiden Ryu, so I sincerely hope they will continue to grow and refine their skills even further.
To inspire all of you, I’ve decided to make the first lesson of this class public (https://youtu.be/hgWp7BU-B88). Train hard and give your best—so that one day, you too can stand alongside these senior students and walk the same path of dedication.
