Taking High Ranking Belt Test in Japan


Sensei Aruu, the chief instructor of Malaysia took the 6th dan test in Japan.

I'm very proud, as the chief instructor of Itosu-Ryu Karate-Do Malaysia Branch, that I took the high ranking belt test (6th Dan Degree) in IKIF Headquarters in Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama city, Japan on March 24th 2019, and I have passed the test.

I found that I was the first person who actually took the high level grading test in Japan ever in IKIF history, from oversea branches. It was a great honor for me and Itosu -Ryu Karate-do Malaysia Branch. I will find more success in this field and make IKIF proud.

Thank you very much to Soke Sadaaki Sakagami, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. He also took me to lunch and dinner party. I would like to appreciate it. It was memorable days for me.
