Its rumored that grading may be on February the 14th or on the following week on the 21st. It’s only a rumor with no confirmed date yet.

On another note I received an email from Dr Bryan Mac Donald of DCU Karate today. He passed on a leaflet for a training day in Dublin with Kawaosoe Sensei (8th Dan). This is an Irish Shotokan Institute event. If you are interested the leaflet is available to download here: http://www.glenviewkarate.com/media/KawasoeDublin09.pdf

2009 training has resumed as of Tuesday the 13th of January. Aragane Sensei is back in Ireland and took the class. Note that class times have changed slightly (CLASS TIMES).

Grading dates will be posted here when known.
