West Coast Goju Kai

Big congratulations to all those who participated in the exams at the IKGA North America Seminar over the long weekend in Calgary!

Grading is tough and does not always yield the results a student hopes for.

We are happy to say that a ✨new title✨ was awarded to William Gomes Sensei, who is now William Gomes ✨Shihan✨. 🥋

After successfully grading to Sandan, Kimar Arakaki Neves ✨Sensei✨ also has a new title.

Congratulations Shihan and Sensei! 🥋 👊🏼

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing women out there!!
