🥋 KDA JKS-South Mid-Year Examinations 2026 🥋

Another milestone. Another step forward. Another opportunity to grow.

Today, our students from Ayala Westgrove, Silang, Verdana Homes, Mamplasan, Biñan, and WalterMart West, Alabang stood before the examiner—not simply to earn a new belt, but to demonstrate the values that define true karate: discipline, respect, perseverance, humility, and an indomitable spirit.

Every technique performed, every kata executed, and every challenge faced reflected the countless hours of dedication, commitment, and hard work inside the dojo.

Congratulations to all our successful examinees! Your new rank is not the destination—it is a reminder that every achievement comes with greater responsibility and a deeper commitment to continuous learning. Continue to train with passion, remain humble, and strive to improve every day, both inside and outside the dojo.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes to our Guest Examiner, Sensei Walter Gozum, 5th Dan KDA Senior Instructor from KDA Honbu Dojo, for generously sharing his expertise, guidance, encouragement, and invaluable insights with our students. Your constructive feedback and commitment to preserving the true spirit of traditional Shotokan Karate made this Mid-Year Examination a meaningful and inspiring learning experience for everyone.

We also extend our deepest appreciation to KDA Honbu Dojo, headed by Chief Instructor Sensei David B. Lay, Jr., together with KDA President Sensei Barry Orenciana, the dedicated KDA Secretariat—Bella and Melissa, and the entire KDA Honbu Dojo family, for your unwavering support, excellent coordination, and for sending our Guest Examiner to conduct the KDA JKS-South Mid-Year Examinations 2026. Your continued leadership, trust, guidance, and commitment to maintaining the highest standards of traditional Shotokan Karate are sincerely appreciated.
Thank you for your steadfast support of KDA JKS-South.

To all our parents and families, thank you for your unwavering trust, encouragement, and support. Your partnership plays a vital role in the development of our students—not only as karateka but also as respectful, disciplined, responsible, and confident individuals.

At KDA JKS-South, we believe that karate is far more than punches and kicks. It is a lifelong journey of developing character, self-discipline, respect, humility, perseverance, and leadership. Every belt earned represents not only technical progress but also growth in character and spirit.

Congratulations once again to all our successful examinees from Ayala Westgrove, Silang; Verdana Homes, Mamplasan, Biñan; and WalterMart West, Alabang! Continue to train with dedication, uphold the values of traditional karate, and inspire others through your actions. Let this achievement be another step toward excellence—not only in karate, but in life.
