DAN GRADES PERSONALLY AWARDED

( Only personal students; excluding examination of other students)

Over 100 yudansha

6 godan grades and 3 rokkudan grades

These constitute an international pyramid of some longetivity, arranged along the lines of an informal ‘invisible college', the majority of it, my own activities included, conducted on a non-profit basis. All personal certificates have been issues without charge, and I have never charged any part of this ‘invisible college' any fee for tuition, examination or administration. Only first world components of the ‘college' are sporadically asked to meet my expenses.
