During these difficult COVID times sohombu has managed to keep people progressing no matter the obstacles in the way.
This has been a great benefit to JKA Auckland, New Zealand.
Thanks to this support we have now had members achieve shodan, nidan, sandan and yondan plus pass many different licence categories.
The way ahead for JKA Auckland, New Zealand  is looking very bright and we are confident we will continue to expand despite the global situation.
