This trip was a meaningful one for Genyōkan. The beginners are now progressing at a pace faster than those who came before them—reaching maturity and understanding more swiftly. This is only possible because of the collective effort of constant guidance and tutelage of overseas Senseis, the periodic joint practices at Seminars, and Dojo members.

Nidan (二段) - Jacob
