Shihandai William passes 6th dan in Iaido

Shihandai William testing for his Renshi in Iaido

Yokohama Dojo Shihandai William successfully passed his Renshi, 6th Dan test in Iaido!

What is inspiring is that he did this in midst of taking his final examination for his Doctor of Medicine Degree! Shihandai William started karate with me when he was in elementary School and I have watched him grow from the "little chubby" kid into a fine gentleman and scholar. He is an inspiration to all our kids in the Dojo. He exemplifies the Spirit of Osu!
Dedication, Perseverance and Self Control.
Not only did he pass this Iaido test he also attained a professional car racing driver license. All while finishing up his sixth year of medical school at Juntendo School of Medicine and completing training at Harvard and Chicago in the United States.

Kimura Dojo is very proud of Shihandai William and encourages all the "Pokemons" to follow his example in their endeavors.

WELL DONE SHIHANDAI!!

OSU!
