Mr. Naito was promoted to 7th dan at the Niigata examination on August 5th.

We would like to share Mr. Naito's post in the band's salon group.

**************************************************************************************
Good evening, Okada sensei and everyone at the salon.
This is Naito from Tokorozawa.

Yesterday, at the examination in Niigata, I got 7th dan on my first try.
I would like to thank Okada Sensei for his guidance, all the teachers who have practiced with me, and everyone at the salon.
In the practice just before the grading, I was losing confidence because I was thinking too much. But in the end, I was able to face the examination with the determination that I had no choice but to show what I could do now, supported by the fact that I am a member of Okada-sensei's student and Haku Un Kai.
I will continue to devote myself to the true 7th dan kendo from now on, and I look forward to your continued guidance in the future.

He has received congratulatory comments on this post not only from the members but also from Okada Sensei.

Congratulations again on your promotion to 7th dan.
