Technical Symposium

The Technical Symposium was a unique Tsuruoka event where blackbelts from across the country gathered to discuss technique and expectations for the the various belt levels. As a result, we were able to continue building and refining resources that can be referenced by instructors across our association.

Hats off to everyone that contributed to this highly productive, collaborative, and educational event!

Congratulation to First TK-D Dan Recipients!

Tsuruoka Karate-Do is tremendously proud to announce the culmination of years of two years of effort in building the foundation of our organisation, the results of our first Dan grading! The gradings were conducted during the month of June over a number of sessions and recordings across four provinces.

Our sincere thanks and congratulations to everyone involved in the grading, from the students to the testing panel to the members of the TK-D Board and Technical Committee for making this possible. Many people had to adapt and make significant effort to pull off a successful grading during a global pandemic.

Congratulations to the following 44 individuals who advanced a Dan level. We are tremendously proud of you and all your hard work and accomplishments!
