This was the first ever Online Grading for JKA Auckland, New Zealand.

We received instructions from Hombu, how the grading will be conducted. However the finer details we were unsure how it will go. We were fortunate that we had Yuriko San ( Zimmatorie) to translate Japanese to English.

Next time we will be, more aware how to prepare. Also we learnt that we need to improve our sound system with amplifier so the commands are heard  clearly. Mr. Ayyub Bhikoo repeated Ogura Shihan’s commands so the people grading can hear the  commands.

We thank Hombu for making arrangements and understanding the travel band in place at the moment around the globe  and facilitating the world wide members not to lose hope and interest during the Covid 19.

It was only Kata and Kihon. We needed some important licenses to be tested on. That was done successfully.
