    I am at Alec's place putting back a fair few bottles of NZ wine with Kan in celebration!! (Sorry Mike K., wish you were here)

    Other huge news is our own contributor Ozawa Hiroshi sensei and NY's Kato sensei both passing 8-dan gradings on the 1st May.

    We will be trying to interview Kato sensei over the next few days.

    We called Ozawa sensei to congratulate him at 0110 Japan time, and despite gout he was still drinking in celebration!! There is a reason why he fits into the KW team!!
