There was great joy in the Stockholm group as 5 members recieved their new Yoshinken grade. Focus and regular participation are required to recieve a grade.

Anders Bengtsson after 9 years, Esko Karjalainen after 8 years, Monika Ritzler after 6 years practice, recieved their well earned grade of nidan.

Matts Rentzhog and Andreas Braula recieved the grade of Oku-iri shodan. During the past 3 years they have improved a lot and increased their focus and training. Matts and Andreas has been training since 2005-2006.
