Considering the current situation that Katsuura training camp and overseas seminars cannot be held for 2 years due to COVID-19 disaster, we plan the promotion examination remotely as follows.

◯ All students of overseas branches and study groups are eligible (requires the recommendation by the branch / study group chiefs).
◯ This can be achieved remotely by sharing video files between the headquarters and overseas branches / study groups.
◯ This is a special measure only this year.
◯ Only Sho-dan (1-dan) examination will be conducted.
◯ Successful applicants are required to participate in the next year’s overseas seminar or Katsuura training camp. Also, successful applicants are required to participate in monthly online seminars as much as possible.
◯ Implementation schedule
・ Notification to all branches / study groups ( by this email): April
・ Submit examination application documents to the headquarters: Until the end of May

  (These fees shall be paid in a lump sum by the method specified by the headquarters after the announcement of the examination results.)
◯ Please note that we will not present (send) black belts to successful applicants this time because of the remote situation.At first, the branches / study groups to which the applicants belong are required to inform the approximate number of applicants to the headquarters by Sunday, May 9th.
