Request for Dojo License Renewal and Dan Certificates

Dear Dojo Owners around the world, Thank you very much for your cooperation. We have been receiving “Request for Dojo License Renewal and for Dan Certificates”, based on “Agreement with Dojo Owner” since last year. We think the system which was established by Soke has been working very well and we want to keep it as it is. However, I need one more item of help from you in the contents of your documents. I have been receiving “Hand written documents” from some Dojo Owners, but not from all. As I am not used to reading hand written letters, it makes it hard and sometimes I am unable to read some of the the lettering. Would you please send all of your documents to Okinawa in “Printed Capital letters” so I can read them correctly. And also, I also would like to have your “Request for Dojo License Renewal and Acquisition” soon from those of you who haven’t renewed it yet for 2014. We here in Okinawa are expecting to see all of you and your students at “The Memorial Karate-Do Seminar and Exchange Demonstration 2014 For Soke Takayoshi Nagamine in Okinawa”. Best regards, Riki Nomura Overseas manager Okinawa
