2026年10月18日（日曜日）、小松橋区民館にて昇級審査を実施しました。

今回の審査では、3名が6級、1名が4級に合格しました。合格された皆さん、おめでとうございます。

初めて昇級審査に臨んだ6級の門下生は、普段の稽古とは異なる緊張感の中、一つひとつの動作に真剣に取り組みました。

審査では、日頃の稽古で積み重ねてきた技や動きを発揮することが求められます。しかし、いつもとは違う雰囲気の中で、練習どおりに力を出すことは簡単ではありません。緊張する自分と向き合いながら、最後まで精一杯取り組む。その経験もまた、空手を通じた大切な成長の一つです。空手の上達は、一度の稽古や審査だけで決まるものではありません。基本や型を繰り返し稽古し、昨日の自分、以前の自分と向き合いながら、少しずつ積み重ねていくものです。今回の昇級を新たな目標への一歩として、これからも一人ひとりが自分の課題に向き合い、日々の稽古に励んでいきます。

改めて、昇級された4名の皆さん、おめでとうございます。

Karate Grading Examination: Four Students Advance to the Next Rank

Today, we held a karate grading examination at our dojo.

This time, three students passed the 6th kyu examination, and one student passed the 4th kyu examination. Congratulations to everyone on this achievement!

For the students taking the 6th kyu examination, it was their first grading test. Despite the nervousness of being in an environment different from their usual training sessions, they approached each movement with focus and determination.

A grading examination is an opportunity to demonstrate the techniques and movements developed through daily practice. However, performing as well as one does in regular training is not always easy in an unfamiliar and more intense atmosphere.

Facing their own nerves and giving their best until the very end is also an important part of personal growth through karate.

Progress in karate is not determined by a single training session or examination. It is built gradually through the repeated practice of basic techniques and kata, continually challenging oneself and measuring progress against who one was yesterday or in previous years.

We hope this promotion will serve as a new step toward future goals. Each student will continue working on their individual challenges and striving to improve through daily practice.

Once again, congratulations to all four students on their promotion!
