Sensei Yasuaki Nagatomo

Chief Instructor of JKA/WF Guyana, Sensei Christopher Chaves in an invited comment said that this promises not only to be special but the most anticipated since the highlight of this Grading will be the four (4) students taking their Nidan testing (2nd Degree Black Belt) and the seven (7) taking their Shodan testing (1st Degree Black Belt).
The Charismatic 6th Dan – Japanese Master and ‘A’ Class JKA Judge and Instructor – Master Nagatomo who is originally from Kyushu Japan but now resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico USA, where he is the Chief Instructor of that state and serves as a member of the Operating Board of JKA/WF America, will be conducting this examination but will also run a Training Clinic before.
Sensei Chaves noted that their combined Dojo’s (Berbice – Canje and Port Mourant, HQ National Park Thomas Lands Georgetown, Craig EBD and their newest Dojo – Mae’s Primary, Millington Street) will all be involved.
Chaves emphasized that “endurance, a good show of character development, respect, humility and technical skills are some of the fundamental requirements students will need to possess in order to be successful when graded.
All members of the public and the martial arts fraternity are invited to attend tomorrow’s event at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall from 10:00hrs.
