This fantastic event is the culmination of a year’s worth of preparation, training and performance reviews. Once it has been decided that the candidates are continuing to the Graduation Ceremony, they will then be in a provisional state known as "Ho" (Shodan-Ho, Nidan-Ho, ect). This is a trial period where the candidates prove to the seniors that their decision to promote you was a correct one.

This period will end with the GRADUATION CEREMONY. 

This year’s graduation will be directly after our Annual Uechi Convention.
