Sensei Lynda Awarded Master Title
On Saturday 22nd February, Sensei Lynda was awarded her 5th Dan and the title of Master.
Grand Master Vince 8th Dan approached myself and recommended that Lynda be put forward for her 5th.
Before a final discission could be made, filming was made of Sensei Lynda’s teaching over a period of months and a thesis on Sensei to Master was sent to GM Vince and other Master Instructors.
Congratulations Master Lynda
